Tech Note: New Typepad Anti-spam Features Come Online
My amigo del fuego John T. Unger has some good news for Typepad users. Apparently, TypePad has released a new feature about an hour ago that now allows users to ban specific words, including URLs, to defeat spam comments and trackbacks.
This is good news. I (and I would assume many other Typepad customers) have been fighting daily battles against the overlords of spam, especially over the last two weeks or so. Another tool in the arsenal is great to have.

Amigo del fuego… heh. I like that. You are officially in charge of nicknames for this decade!

Yay me! Now, to find someone worthy of the moniker "Flounder..."

Now *that's* an interesting way to do it… come up with a list of good nicknames first and then go forth and find the right people to wear them.
That could become a really twisted social networking game somehow… In fact, it's kinda like tagging isn't it? Maybe this would be a good icebreaker game for web2.0 conferences!
