I remember there was some excitement that blogers had code to check links posted against SURBL. Is that still being used? I figured that would be bigger news.
I'm still using it. In fact I was watching the spammers hit my blogs earlier this week. Hundreds of attempts in a few days, and they all failed miserably, because I added the domain they were attempting on the very first attempt. It inspired me to change the error message for a spam reject to "Rot in Hell, spammer!", which should give you an idea of how much I like the results.
I should point out that I am using a custom local blacklist, thus using the SURBL protocol but not the SURBL lists. The domains that were spamming me were not in multi.surbl.org at the time I set it up.
