Defensio: Outsmarting Evil Spam

This morning, hosted e-commerce solution Shopify enabled commenting on its users’ blogs.

After comparing the many spam filtering services available, the Ottawa-based firm decided to use Defensio as their first line of defense.

This is yet another great step for us since Shopify currently hosts ~40,000 blogs.

Shopify launched in mid-2006 and was greatly acclaimed.  Building an online store with Shopify couldn’t be easier and many believe they are a great contender to overtake eBay’s dominance in this market. Shopify recently announced they passed $10M in total sales.

Another week, another platform supported!

It’s our pleasure to announce that our Canadian friends at Hop Studios built a Defensio module for the wonderful ExpressionEngine CMS.  They call it Defensio Combo.  You can get it from Hop’s website, or download it from our very own website.

With ExpressionEngine 2.0 just around the corner, you’ll be happy to know that the guys at Hop committed themselves to releasing an update to their module shortly after the 2.0 release. You’ll never be without decent spam protection again.

Welcome to the family EEers!

Google recently acquired Textcube, a Korean blogging platform that looks very promising.  To our surprise, we discovered that a Defensio plugin was already available for Textcube!

We’re glad to add it to our list of supported platforms.  You can download it on the Defensio for Textcube page.
