Spammers Map

WO sites have recently been Slashdotted, both of which provide ‘spam maps’:
- Mailinator (jump directly to map) – an almost real-time spam map, which is refreshed every few minutes and builds upon the Google Maps API
- TrustedSource Portal – seems like a service surprisingly similar to service above, which was Slashdotted only two weeks beforehand
Was there truly really a point in recommending two tools which do practically (or roughly) the same thing? The two tools are quite similar, but one could argue that they complement one another.
