akismet caught spam

The following post is totally unrelated to Google, but I think I should show some appreciation to the folks at Automattic who developed the Akismet service (and the great WordPress, despite that I am not very satisfied with, but still great), which had caught over 200,000 spam comments on this blog since I installed it in the late 2006. (200K is about 0.0038% of all spam Akismet ever caught)

The above line chart shows the amount of spam comments accumulated over time. Well, thank you Akismet!
