I finished up my presentation at Moosecamp / Northern Voice a few hours ago and already there have been some good posts around the blogosphere discussing what’s going on:
- Comment Spam Discussed at Northern Voice – Scoble
- Top five comment spammer tricks – Greg Yardley
- Moosecamp: Proposal for Comment Spam – Blogoholics
- Mullenweg on Comment Spam – TDavid
- WordPress and Akismet
Akismet 
What i would like to see from Akismet is a faster response to false positives 🙂 Great job though!
I love akismet, it’s the best comment spam plugin I have ever used. But I miss something. Is there any way of getting a mail everytime a spam comment is caught?.
Not currently, no.
