Akismet recently passed the 100,000,000 mark on spam messages blocked. Based on the assumption that you spend 1 second per spam message that hits your blog, they estimate that they have save blog authors 27,777 hours by blocking these postings.
Of course as I’m writing this the count just keeps increasing. In fact, the counter is almost to 102 million, with 1.1 million blocked just today. What shocked me is that 94% of all messages are spam, although it really shouldn’t be shocking.
