kinda sad they didn't plan for spam better, since they bill wave as the second coming of email/jesus

if it takes off, spam will happen. gmail's spam filtering is really good (can't remember the last spam message that made it through to my inbox), so maybe they can borrow that from gmail.

There's a "Spam!" button in Wave, for marking wavelets as spam.

I think the author's point is that this is no different from the mark as spam button in email. So basically wave and email are equivalent in terms of being at-risk wrt spam.

Anything where you can send a message is vulnerable to spam.
