We half-jokingly considered doing a press release after Matt posted this Jayvee. We decided that it might be better to activate Akismet on a dozen blogs instead though!

You have no idea.

Or maybe you do. Heh. The entire blog world seems to have been in an onslaught with spam and with literally thousands of spam coming into our network every few hours, the investment is highly worth it! Thanks guys for a great product.

I’m a blogger over at b5media and think this is a tremendous move. I’ve been using Akismet on my personal blog now for a little while and in that time Akismet is just shy of 38,000 spamments caught. THANKS! I have found a few things sneaking through and also installed Spam Karma 2, but Akismet seems to truly be taking the brunt of the work off my hands.

I don’t know if they paid the $200 a month fee that is listed on the Akismet website, but I really think it is great to see people giving back to such a great plugin, and hope it inspires others to work on ever more exceptional plugins.

PLEASE develop the same technology for email!

I find that Akismet is extremely effective, but I still haven’t found an email spam fighter that works. Many get blocked, but many get through.

Expand your operation. You guys are great.
