Modest Proposal for Comment Spam- Akismet – Matt Mullenweg was the event right after my presentation at Moose Camp. Matt went into the the new API that allows you to take advantage of Akismet for personal use, a commercial version is available as well. He brought up some interesting numbers for the growth of word press and the number of metric’s that had been collected already here is a snap shot from the time of this posting:
“3,507,392 spams caught so far
16,368 so far today
82% of all comments are spam”
Matt spoke of extending this into other blogging platforms as well as some new “social spamming”. I sat next to Robert Scoble who blogged about this today as well.
Matt also spoke of integrating this anti-spam solution into Wiki’s which is a growing way spam is being spread. Speaking of Wiki some very interesting news about Word Press it looks like a plug-in is coming for Wiki…> Can’t wait to see what comes of this.
