Captcha: Not Needed to Prevent Spam Comments

Geek week continues with a brief post about Blogger's latest feature:

Here is a brief note that goes along with this image:

Blogger now filters comments that are likely spam comments to a Spam Inbox, much like the spam folder in your email. When someone leaves a comment on your blog, it will be reviewed against our spam detector, and comments that are identified as possible spam will be sent to your blog's Spam Inbox.

I applaud the geeks at Blogger.. it is working for all of my blogs. I hope that bloggers will now remove that annoying word verification and stop torturing their readers/commenters with it.
