Revisiting comment spam
With the release of Movable Type 3.14, a lot of people are revisiting the topic of comment spam and offering their opinions. I talked to eWeek's Matt Hicks for their story Movable Type Fixing Bug as Spam Clogs Blogs, and eWeek also has some good discussion over on Sean Gallagher's blog about the tactics that can be used. Meanwhile, Tim Appnel posted Freedom is Slavery on his O'Reilly blog, as an overview of the fact that all comment options on the web are essentially a tradeoff between openness and accountability.
