I’ve added this Akismet thing to my blog. It purports to be able to tell the difference between a spam comment and a non-spam comment. It’s a web-based API made for WordPress, but it has been adapted for other environments as well. (Noticibly absent is ASP classic, which I may try to develop myself sometime down the road).

Right now I’m simply letting is flag every incoming comment with “Y” for spam and “N” for not-spam. Once I see how well it works over a week or so, comments marked as spam will no longer be displayed at all.

On a side note, when I think of Akismet, I think of Kismet, the Magic: The Gathering card famous from Stasis decks: Enchantment, 3W, Target opponent’s artifacts, creatures, and lands come into play tapped.
