Facing Spam Head On

I'm not too sure the Washington Post is up on what's happening with spamming these days. Maybe they are but are out there to alert their readers about this big problem. They certainly are more up on the terms for blogging spam, "a splog".

I'm sure if you are a blogger, you would have already figured out that spamming is rampant with blogs. There are a few measures to escape this ordeal. I'm not so sure they are aware blogging has existed for some 4 plus years now. And even since I started, I declare myself as such a late comer.

What the article speaks about which is in my mind great is about the different types of spam in blogs. Some spam is in the form of comments while others are in the form of horrible blogs that actually get into the search engines. Why? Because search engines just haven't figured out blogs yet.

I certainly think the article has good merit because the post writer points out a lot of the bad things which are happening with free blogs. I'd have to agree with one lawyer who said it's up to the creators to be responsible in helping fight spam.
