The honored list of competitors, include the likes of google, myspace and AOL, each one of them goliaths! <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Mullenweg">Matt Mullenweg</a>, the creator of <a href="http://wordpress.org">Wordpress</a>, associates the success of wordpress.com spam protection to Akismet. This is something that I use now. I used spam-karma before this, which was pretty good, but with Akismet, it is almost zero-management.</p>
