Cakap.my – My fail Malaysia Microblogging Site

Posted by Adi Wong On March - 6 - 2010

Cakap.my was bought a year ago hoping that Status.net (previously laconi.ca) script will actually do better. It actually did better but forgot to address the one most important issue, SPAM. I kinda like this domain and have spend time installing this microblogging script 3 times at different host.

FYI, Status.net is a free twitter script. It is a pretty nice script with the plugin for Facebook Apps and Twitter Apps integration. So you can automatically update both from one micro-blogging site. I manage to setup everything in few hours time but when I brought it live for testing and posted a link at their WiKi, spam started to come one by one. Then I activated Re-Captcha, but it did not keep them out for long. Everytime I got some spam from the user, I had to go phpMyAdmin to execute few lines of SQL as there is no control panel.



This was the same problem with Pligg that uses Re-Captcha I had installed for one of my website. After migrating to WordPress, it works like a charm.

I got the domain for another year, hopefully I could do another great install or find some other ussage for this.
