Up-and-coming platforms opt for Defensio
There’s quite a bit of action in the blogosphere these days and many new platforms are making their entry. Recently, two of them added support for Defensio:
Habari, a “next-generation free software blogging platform” has gained quite a bit of momentum lately, It is considered a great alternative to WordPress. Plugin developer Matt Read had enough of spam and built a Defensio plugin for Habari.
Although it is still fairly new, the plugin is apparently very stable and ready to use. Thanks for the hard work Matt, and to all Habari users: welcome to Defensio!
Our other new friend is Aintablog (as in Ain’t a Blog), an open-source Tumblog and feed aggregator written in Ruby on Rails by Pat Nakajima. The author built support for Defensio right into the core of the application. We, obviously, think it is pure genius. Good luck with your new project, Pat!
For more information about Defensio support for these platforms, please see the Habari and Aintablog pages on our website.

Hey, thanks for mentioning Aintablog!
I’m really glad I went with Defensio for comment protection. Not only is it easier to integrate with Rails (at least, from my experience), but it’s also much easier in terms of acquiring API keys and monitoring spam/ham success rates. Keep up the great work!

And thanks for mentioning Habari. Defensio support was much requested by users who’d used it on other blogging platforms, and since Matt got down and did the hard work it’s had good take up. Well done Matt and Defensio.

As a blissfully happy user of Habari and someone who pushed for the Defensio plugin, I would just say to say ‘Thanks’ for all those responsible for making it happen.
