Akismet Eats Spam So You Don’t Have To

July 11th, 2007 - - Filled in: Blogging

Since I started Derrich.com in October 2006, Akismet has blocked exactly 9,011 spamments as of this morning. Not a ton for a blog of my age, and certainly not alot in the whole scheme of things. Today, Akismet announced on it blog that it has blocked two billion spamments since its inception. Over 6.3 million today alone. Geez. That’s alot of spam. I can’t imagine sifting through all those spamments on a daily basis. Thank you, Akismet.

By the way, if you haven’t downloaded Akismet for your blog, do it now. Get Akismet. If you already have it, how much spam has Akismet eaten from your blog?

Fortunately I don’t get much spam using blogger.

This tool looks exactly what I’ve been looking for. I use Wordpress for my blog and I get all kinds of crazy spam daily that doesn’t even look like a human wrote it.

I’ve only had about 1,300 comments thus far. I am glad that Akismet has been there to handle the bulk.
