Defensio: Outsmarting Evil Spam

This morning, I had the joy to wake up to a wonderful review of Defensio. The author of the review, Holly Ord clearly loves what we’re doing. But more importantly, she really understands the comment spam problem, how Defensio works and why we’re better. I invite you to read her article entitled Tackling Comment Spam — For Good. It’s a great one.

This is, in my opinion, the best excerpt (of course, I’m totally biased ):

Defensio is a comment spam monitor and eliminator whose entire mission is based off of outsmarting evil spam, which it does miraculously. In my opinion, you cannot get any better than Defensio for taking the edge off when you’re thinking about how your website is doing and if any spam is leaking through.

Thanks Holly, that’s giving us some fuel to keep going!
