Whilst writing the last post about a marketing book survey I was also testing out a new Firefox plugin that is currently in beta, Zemanta
What Does Zemanta Do Exactly?
It adds editing functions to various popular online blogging interfaces, Wordpress (both .org and .com), Blogger and Typepad. These are the type of functions you could probably add a plugin for if you are using Wordpress on your own hosting, but wouldn’t be available for Blogger, Typepad and Wordpress.com users.
That makes it something worth taking a careful look at for niche marketers, even if you use WordPress for most of
Typepad AntiSpam
I have switched Spam Karma off… temporarily, to test Typepad’s new Antispam plugin
As is well known I am not a huge fan of collective intelligence as the sole arbiter of whether a comment is “spam or ham”, and long term I am most likely to switch back to Spam Karma, possibly using Typepad Antispam as an additional filter.
I am also going to grab the code from Igor so I can test Typepad Antispam in conjunction with his Project Honeypot though I think that too is best served as a Spam Karma filter/plugin with probably a high threshold.
Typepad Antispam was quite easy to set up
