Next Blog, Now With Less Spam!

I am sure that many of you enjoy clicking the "Next Blog" button on the Blogger Navbar and browsing the fascinating blogs of fellow bloggers. As of late, annoying spam has managed to spoil this experience. The more you clicked "Next Blog" the more you saw automated zombie-like blogs often filled with link spam. Today, we put some artificial intelligence to work in an effort to make "Next Blog" fun and useful again for readers of blogspot blogs. This is the first of several steps we are taking to root out spam blogs from
Blogger and blogspot. What we learn from cleaning up "Next Blog" spam can eventually be applied to other areas such as our changes file so that services which depend on this file will also enjoy less spam. Okay, back to my nextblogging.
