<p><a href="http://defensio.com/">Defensio</a> launched their public beta today.  I've been part of the private beta for a couple months now, after openly criticizing Akismet.  Defensio is a similar tool, so it does fall prey to the same <a href="http://andybeard.eu/2007/02/akismet-the-danger-of-collective-intelligence-and-why-i-dont-use-it.html">"wisdom of crowds" weaknesses</a>.  Defensio's usability far outstrips SK2<a href="#footnote-1-1238" id="footnote-link-1-1238" title="See the footnote.">1</a> and Akismet<a href="#footnote-2-1238" id="footnote-link-2-1238" title="See the footnote.">2</a>, and the launch of the website improves it a bit.  Now there's an <acronym title='Rich Site Summary'><span class='caps'>RSS</span></acronym> feed for my spam.  Granted, that's a little strange, but it's better than SK2's digest emails, which untrain google's filters by passing along spam content inside legitimate emails.  I like having a choice in anti-spam measures, and especially one that's upfront about its accuracy, and that's cognizant of the need to police your own quarantine.  Here's a couple screenshots to give you an idea of what it looks like:</p>
