How Akismet work?
When a new comment, trackback, or pingback comes to your blog it is submitted to the Akismet web service which runs hundreds of tests on the comment and returns a thumbs up or thumbs down.

What does this plugin do?
This Joomla! component is UNUSABLE alone: other components HAVE TO USE IT. Consider this component as a Framework. It help other developers integrate Akismet in their code. This component is simply a bridge, hiding Akismet details and providing an unified way to use Akismet in Joomla 3rd party component code.

NEW: Slider administrator panel.
NEW: Native Joomla! 1.5 plugin, no need to install in legacy mode.

NEW: New API more like in Joomla! 1.5, but the old one is still working

require_once (_JOOMLA_AKISMET_ADMIN_BASE . '/akismetJoomlaAPI.php');
$JoomlaAkismetAPI = JoomlaAkismetAPI::getJoomlaAkismetAPI();
$JoomlaAkismetAPI->isKeyValid("123456789");

NEW: Using Akismet PHP 5 engine version 0.4 (author Alex Potsides http://www.achingbrain.net/)

Performance - changed HTTP version from 1.1 to 1.0 (with thanks to Jan De Poorter).
Performance - No longer issues a separate HTTP request to check validity of the API key with every instantiation.
Added a new public method 'isKeyValid' to manually check validity of the API key passed to the constructor.
The method 'isCommentSpam' (rather than the constructor) will now throw an exception if the API key is invalid.
Tidied up internal structure a bit.
