Social Traffic Monitor is a plugin for Wordpress blogs that monitors your blog traffic for activity coming from social news or bookmarking sites. When someone clicks on a link to your blog on one of the major social news or bookmarking sites (currently Digg, Netscape, Reddit, Newsvine, Fark, Slashdot, Del.icio.us, and StumbleUpon), the plugin begins to log the visits to that page.

Considering WordPress’s popularity and huge user base as a blog platform, it makes perfect sense that people are pushing and testing its limits.

This is a very early release but the feature list already looks impressive. Dock and system tray icons show the number of unmoderated comments. You can accept, delete or mark as spam the comments directly in the app.

If you upgraded to Akismet 2.2, you likely noticed a cool new feature: Akismet stats. We’ve now released Akismet 2.2.1, which includes a few bug fixes. Akismet stats track your comment metrics, including missed spam, false positives (Akismet thought it was spam, but you disagreed), and Yummy Pie, which displays your ham vs. spam count in a nifty pie chart.
