How To Get Rid of Spam in Web Applications, Forums and Blogs
One of the obvious way is to use captcha. A captcha is a group of generated text that a user must then read and enter to verify themselves as human and not some kind of spam bot.

Either that’s a way to prove their skills, enjoy satisfaction of a nice work, or simply stupidity and wasting time in doing so is another question. Heck, I’ve even seen source code for bypassing phpBB and SMF captcha floating around the net.
I’ve seen quite a few web apps applying the captcha system provided by Recaptcha. Twitter for example, just did. The API is well written and is provided for free in different programming language – PHP, .NET, JSP, Phyton, Ruby, you name it. There’s also a wordpress plugin made available.

But it seems like search engines are all taking a different approach. Instead of building momentum on the traditional social model of uploading photos and connecting between people/friends etc, search engines are leveraging on their technology to do what they had been always good at – text contents.
And what else can be better then to get other other people to write content on your site, ask questions, offer their solutions and share some knowledge?

Digsby All in One Social Networking, Email and Instant Messaging Software
I have to be the first to admint that i don’t have much patience with installing different IM applications just so that I can chat with my friends from ICQ, YIM, MSN or GTalk. And heck, there’s social networks like Myspace, Facebook and LinkedIn ALL crying for my attention. Emails is another problem as well as I personally keep more then 4 public emails accounts and one email for each of the web domains I have. There’s really no way of keeping up to that if I were to login one by one.
