I think that Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript and XML) as described on Adaptive Paths site sounds very promising. I was amazed when I tried out my gmail account at how smooth it runs. There are some other google betas that run on a similar technique. Well, I’m looking forward to see some neat web services growing. (Well, I’m thinking about putting into mine)
Well, it was just about two or three days ago when I realized, how cool del.icio.us is. I then added all my links I previously managed in a private Movabletype blog to my del.icio.us account.
Then, inspired by the amazing demo of Matt Biddulph I implemented “related del.icio.us” in this blog. You see it when you are in the individual entry archive view.

Still in battle to fight my comment spam. See my previous posts on that subject.
The movable type plugin from Brad Choate did just half the work. Interestingly it just blocked half the spams. After each non-approved spam, the spammer sent another spam through a non-blacklisted relay.. :-) In a way fighting this is fun, but in a way I’d like to do more serious things!
I now installed Jay Allens MT-Blacklist and it looks promising. It also fights trackback pings and since trackback ping spamming hits me since yesterday, I’m looking quite forward to see this movabletype-blacklist-plugin doing some good work.
This is an update of my previous link-spammer-entry.
Since renaming the comment-script-filename doesn’t really do it (well, in a way I expected that), I installed Brad Choates MT-DSBL Movable Type plugin (very very easy to install). It seems to work since I tested to add a comment via anonymizer (a free anonymizer proxy) and the comment is set for moderation now..
P.S: There has been set up a domain&website for anti-nofollow enthusiast!
In a recent entry I thought a bit about crosslinking in a website.
Now, Matt Biddulph did something quite astonishing, you can see the crosslinking in a action in a flash movie he created.
Now this made me think to implement this too in our companys own content management tool.
The best thing of his del.icio.us “plugin” is, that you gain something by adding keywords to a content. I mean you gain more than higher rankings in google or so.. :-).
Interesting things are going on. Since link spammers put comments on Blogs and get higher google rankings, google told us that you can put a rel=”nofollow” to the links posted in weblog comments. Well, Sixapart (producer of Movabletype) supports the idea among other companies that produce weblogs.
Sure, many people from the xhtml-front think that this isn’t a good idea (are you surprised of that?), but nontheless there are some quite good comments on that.
Well, I’ve got comment spam too (who has not) and I think that it is enought to just change the position of the comment script. Anyone has experience if that helps?
