Spamming the Ecosystem
--Jay at 10:48 AM--
I was looking at the lowest ranked area of the blogosphere Ecosystem and was amazed to see there are over 41,000 blogs now listed. Last I looked, it was somewhere just north of 12,000. Wow!
Then I looked more closely. It seems most of them are spam. Speaking of things to say “doh” about. Doh! It also seems an awful lot of them are URLs for feeds, not for blogs as such. What’s up with that?
So either someone has way too much time on their hands or employs overly cheap labor, or it’s as easy to add blogs in automated fashion to the Ecosystem as it is to create new BlogSpot blogs. Not good. I wonder where all this is leading us.
