Akismet racks up 100,000,000 milestone

Posted in Anti Spam | Sunday, July 9th, 2006 | No Comments »

Akismet has racked up the impressive milestone of having blocked 100,000,000 spam comments. Its quite an impressive figure and one that when you think about it means a lot of time saved according to the Akismet blog:

When we hit one million spams blocked I talked about how much time Akismet has saved its users if you made the assumption of 1 second per spam that Akismet caught and you never had to see. Going by that same formula, Akismet has now saved folks 27,777 hours or about 3.2 years of consectutive 24-hour days.

A big thank you to the team at Akismet, I certainly appreciate their efforts!
