On the Google Blog ( http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/01/preventing-comment-spam.html ) there was a post about their idea for dealing with comment spam. Basically render comment spam useless by encouraging web sites to use the tag rel="nofollow" on any links within a comment area. They're more interested in cms and blogging apps to grab hold of the idea than for each individual to do it themselves.
The groups already on board are:
Brad Fitzpatrick - LiveJournal
Dave Winer - Scripting News
Anil Dash - Six Apart
Steve Jenson - Blogger
Matt Mullenweg - WordPress
Stewart Butterfield - Flickr
Anthony Batt - Buzznet
David Czarnecki - blojsom
Rael Dornfest - Blosxom
Mike Torres - MSN Spaces
It looks like MSN Search and Yahoo! are on board as well (!)
So anyone interesting in getting Drupal doing this too?
