I'm certainly not ntunirg of DoComment based on the article over at ProBlogger. Sure it's a pretty despicable service the company is offering but it's a knee jerk reaction to suddenly go back to employing link condoms.Genuine comments which add to the discussion are easy to spot. Those which are spam and are only posting to get a trickle of Google juice are equally easy to spot. It's no problem at all to add a link condom to an individual comment which you think is spam simply apply one in your WP dashboard. If the commenter is genuine and has come back to your site to follow the discussion and notices the pink link and asks you why then there's probably a good reason to take it off again. The chances are that the spammers won't return or spot the pink link anyway.Removing DoFollow is a step backward and an admission that the spammers have won. Don't do it.

MakeItMine is better

I agree. I can't see anything about this app that is actually any different than MIM other than the interface. Even the "warning" about having to quit the app to reset carrier logos is the same.

how come when I change my carrier with either makeitmine or fake, it doesnt scroll across to show you the full carrier name? It does this if your full carrier name is longer than the window provided?

Make It Mine doesn't work with 4.3.3
