Sabeer Bhatia, the man behind Hotmail, has announced that he has invested in an anti-spam company. Bhatia, who developed the concept of web-based email in his mid-20s, and subsequently sold Hotmail to Microsoft for a reported $400 million, revealed last month that he had turned his attention to the problem of spam. Although reluctant to give away any details of his anti-spam project, he told an audience of Australian technology entrepreneurs that he considers there to be ‘intelligent solutions [to the spam problem] by putting an appliance at a network level’.
