Akismet has caught just over half a mil­lion spam com­ments (501,151) on my blog. That’s a lot of my time saved. Thanks guys.

I noticed the Akismet ser­vice recently passed the 1 bil­lion spam com­ments mark.

I use it on all the other blogs I host and man­age. I think the total caught on those is rap­idly approach­ing 100,000.
