Akismet learns Russian?
In the first real test of Akismet’s flexibility it now needs to learn Russian. For the last few days the flow of spam has been consistent – and uncaught.

Review: Moshi Monsters
MoshiMonsters hardly need the publicity since they appear to have a PR company getting them phenomenal publicity. My family discovered these little critters after they got a plug on the News as the Facebook for kids! My boy was signed up within minutes!
