What the Spam is going on?

I logged in this afternoon to see the following on my Akismet spam comments page.
That total is for a single month (from the 6th May 2008) as the count was reset when I moved the blog to this new server.
I remember back last summer I was complaining about getting 57 Spam messages in one night.
Is this unusual? Or is everyone else noticing an increase recently?

I wonder if it could be because of all the publicity you got with StayPress? Spammers using Technorati or Google Blog search to determine which blogs are popular and therefore worth targeting?
