Click's botnet experiment

There's been a lot of conversation over the past couple of days on digg, blogs and the backstage mailing list about BBC Click's botnet experiment (watch it here).

Mark Perrow of Click has now responded on the Editors blog at BBC News:

So, read more and comment at the Editors. (N.B. not here please!)
