Spam. People associate this word with the canned good named Spam. But there is another meaning for spam and that would be:
Electronic messaging system abuse through sending unsolicited messages, usually in bulk form (more like send to all) regardless if the recipients want to get these messages or not. In other words, these are sent indiscriminately.
E-mail spam is the one that is sent regularly which is mostly about products or services being offered. There are however different forms of spam and these will show as instant messaging spam or SPIM which targets instant messaging services, online classified ads, wiki spam and internet forum spam.
Blogs have spams too, in the form of comments which is also called spamdexing. There are also those that are called splogs.
