Spam And Movies

I don't get comment spam in my Blogger blogs since the program is good at catching such garbage. My two forays into Wordpress get spammed a lot. Google is working on comment spam and the ideas look good.(via Experimental Film).

I sometimes visit Newgrounds to see the latest flash movies. Here is a neat little show called "From my Room". Enjoy!

Update: This is an answer in part to comments made by Joel and Shahid.

I don't recall reading about Blogger's filter per se but notice that commenting is done in two steps: 'Post a comment' leads to 'post anonymously or sign in' and then to the actual comment window. I think this two stage process stumps most autospamming systems.

I've noticed that with Blogger's spam filter, too. Nice.

I didn't notice that about Blogger until I read your post!

ld - that's great. I recall various issues with Haloscan at times but not spam.

Joel and Shahid - see the update in the post.
