I use Akismet to great effect, and it keeps my blog spam free. Though often i do look into my spam list just to see if it clears out some real comments. But this only happens very rarely. Its just my paranoia!

If you like me that manages multiple blogs, your can use the same API key for all as well.

great post – I thought CAPTCHA would solve all my problems but I got e-mails from users trying to post who couldn’t see the letters very well :( We took it off and installed Akismet and so far so good! Well, my first comment (that I wrote) was sent to the spam bucket, but aside from that it has been awesome!

I wonder if Moderate Brief Comments has a counter or log. Or something I could count the number of post it deals with compared to Akismet.

I have gotten about 20-30 comments into the moderation each day for the last three or so months. Akismet has grabbed 4 since this morning after I read this article and finally installed both plugs. So I wonder, where are the other 20 somthing? hmmm... not that I want it badly.

Btw. I very often think developers forget that they are making stuff for people who don't read minds on daily basis. Like for Akismet. It says that you should paste this little piece of text into your WP template. There are 15 or so templates. I, who don't read mind either found at last a web page that managed to say: Put it where you want it to appear. So I picked the sidebar. I could continue forever...

Thanks for pointing out these great plug-ins. I wander why I installed it after reading this article. I have known about Akismet for some time and downloaded it at least twice.
