I love SPAM!

Just a short note here to give some props to Brandon over at devNulled for his awesome CFAkismet CFC. I've always known about Akismet which is a great spam comment tool / web service developed for WordPress but never got around to implementing it. Well this weekend i sat down to work on a personal project which needed Akismet functionality. So i did a search to see if anyone else in the CF world had already built this as a tag or CFC and sure enough there was Brandon's CFC.

So we've got the Akismet stuff locked and loaded. I've already taken a smattering of old spam and thrown it at the blog and I'm happy to report it was all caught by Akismet and our code didn't have to even fall back to our backup checks.

So if you've got a blog or need to check comments etc i encourage you to deploy Akismet and if you're a CF developer get Brandon's code and implement it today!
