The new version of Akismet now has a brand-spanking new feature: stats! It also has some performance improvements and better responsiveness, but the graphical representation of your spam statistics is definitely a major selling point (well, if you had to pay for it, it would be). Anyway, here’s the blurb:
If you upgraded to Akismet 2.2, you likely noticed a cool new feature: Akismet stats. …
Akismet stats track your comment metrics, including missed spam, false positives (Akismet thought it was spam, but you disagreed), and Yummy Pie, which displays your ham vs. spam count in a nifty pie chart.
What’s ham? The good stuff. Delicious, legitimate comments. Spam is the non-legitimate filler that Akismet excels at blocking.
Nice huh? Well, the major point for me is that is blocks spam pretty successfully, with is a major boon as anyone working in PC Support will attest to. But the graphs to add a nice touch and I for one am happy to see them there.
