In some senses, you already have access to features that most other Wordpress.com users do not considering you have a different theme with unique functionality.

I made a similar observation about the new features helping to build community around WordPress.com - and through the responses to the post, I discovered that the excellent coComment allows you to track comments from around the blogosphere, not just WordPress.com.

Wordpress does have the best spam protection in the world, and that's because it's a distributed system that, when you say something is spam, knows it's spam for Uncle Joe's blog too.

Akismet is the technology, and I blogged about it here:

For those who don't want to use Akismet (the Wordpress.com spam filter system), try SpamKarma 2.

It's a free plugin and does a great job of eating spam.

I chose not to use Akismet simply because I didn't want to register an account with Wordpress.com

Matt and the team are doing a fantastic job, and I am more and more happy to have my blog hosted on Wordpress. I have other blogs hosted on my own server, but the wordpress service is so reliable and simple that I now prefer it to my own hosting.

Re spamming service, it is just magnificent. One day last week about 50 spams in rapid succession got through, because they had obviously ound a workaround. I killed them all, but the key is WP learned from that and they never returned.
