Feed Description: James Robertson comments on Cincom Smalltalk, the Smalltalk development community, and IT trends and issues in general.
I've not had any comment spam here yet, but a number of the blogs I read have been slammed hard. I noticed this morning that Sam Ruby's blog was slammed - there was spam for all his recent posts. It looks like the spammers are targeting Moveable Type systems and the API it uses for comment forms. I'm not using that, so I think I'm getting saved by obscurity for the moment. The good news - at least with a news aggregator, I can just unsubscribe from a comment feed if it looks like it's being overrun.
