The software awards scam « Successful Software

Al Lowe brought me to this one. It’s really interesting how spam is actually not only unwanted text messages, e-Mail, blog comments and such but can obviously also be software. I very much knwo this because if you start looking for a decent software tool to serve only one purpose (like e.g. undeleting files) you get hundreds if not thousand tools. Some of them are great others are mediocre and most are simply trash. Here you learn that awards are no good way to find out to which group a software belongs.
And imho it’s another reason to increasingly use open source software.
