The recent trend of entries about Habari con­tin­ues, with an Akismet plu­gin. Other alter­na­tives exist if you’re not a fan of Akismet. (Defen­sio, Mol­lom, Sim­ple Black­list, the core spam checker, etc.) A Type­Pad Anti­Spam plu­gin will be com­ing soon. Type­Pad Anti­Spam sup­port was added to the Akismet plu­gin in ver­sion 0.1.0.

Akismet, or Automat­tic Kismet, is a spam fil­ter­ing ser­vice cre­ated by Automat­tic, the cor­po­ra­tion which employs most of the main devel­op­ers of the weblog plat­form Word­Press, and released on Octo­ber 25, 2005. Akismet attempts to fil­ter link spam from blog com­ments and spam Track­Back pings. The fil­ter works by com­bin­ing infor­ma­tion about spam cap­tured on all par­tic­i­pat­ing blogs, and then using those spam rules to block future spam. Akismet has cap­tured over 10.1 bil­lion spam com­ments and pings as of March 2009.
