Akismet 2.2.1 with Stats
Our favorite spam-fighting plugin Akismet has a new version, now with statistics:
Spam most people know as the unwanted commercial comments on their blog, its counterpart we call ham to indicate legitimate comments. On the Akismet mistakes side, missed spam is pretty self-explanitory, but a false positive is what it’s called when we incorrectly identify a legitimate comment as spam. (Which hopefully happens exceedingly rarely.) Also, we’re sorry about the vegetarian thing.
All that spam and ham getting you hungry yet? To top it all off, there’s a “Yummy Pie” chart that summarizes your blog’s commenting history. You can find your Akismet Stats beside the link to your Dashboard.
2.3 Million Filipino Bloggers
Here’s a list of Philippine internet and blogging usage by the numbers, according to the Wave.3 Social Media Tracker (PDF file, 25.66 MB) by Universal McCann, a New York media agency.
- 14 million use the internet (15.4% penetration rate as of April 2007)
- 3.7 million actively use the internet (as of March 2008)
Out of the 3.7 million active users (between 16 to 54 years old):
- 3.6 million / 98.6% : watch videos
- 3.3 million / 90.3% : read blogs
- 3.1 million / 86.4% : post pictures
- 3.0 million / 83.1% : create profiles on social networks
- 2.3 million / 65.8% : have a blog
- 2.2 million / 60.5% : upload videos
- 2.2 million / 61.8% : listen to podcasts
- 1.6 million / 45.2% : subscribe to feeds
(Note: some figures were rounded down or roughly calculated to complete the number-and-percentage pairings.)
It’s interesting to see that podcasts are actually more popular than feeds even though they’re usually powered by syndication technologies.
