Automatically identify spam and allow blog publishers to notify service providers about the spam sources.

Tucows Inc., an ICANN accredited registrar and Internet services provider, today announced the release of spam fighting tools in its Blogware service.

With this release, Blogware now includes tools to automatically identify spam. Blog publishers can notify their service provider about the spam sources and service providers can add them to a Blogware global blacklist. Moderation tools for blog comments and trackbacks have also been added to give publishers the ability to control the comments that appear on their blog, claims the company.

"We believe Tucows is in a unique position to leverage our distribution model to create one of the most comprehensive blacklists in the blogging industry," said Elliot Noss, President and CEO Tucows Inc. "Our strategy is to create a set of tools specifically designed to harness the reach of our channel and give service providers the information and tools they need to provide best-in-class blog spam protection to their customers."
