It's actually a pretty impressive achievement that tackles the spam problem proactively in comparison to Google's largely reactive struggle against spam (although IMO Panda and similar stuff represents somewhat of a shift on that front for Google).
| Facebook said this week that, thanks to FIS, less than 4 per cent of the network's messages are spam and that fewer than 1 in 200 users experience spam on any given day. |

Those are pretty nice numbers - you reckon any search engine could match them?

I'm definitely impressed by Facebook's "FIS" system. I remember a couple of years ago I used to get a lot of spam via facebook but now-a-days, I rarely see anything. When something does get through, they're pretty quick to react to it.

Awesome achievement indeed. Now lets hope the system isn't boosted to be more pro-active in gathering personal data you haven't shared knowingly. It always ends up at that somehow.

Those are some staggering numbers. Hard to not be impressed by it.
This goes to show it takes more than just a good idea to pull off something like Facebook. There is some high level skill behind that site.

Do they want a medal as well as all that private data?
