techmeme_1194200569468.pngWhen mediocre webmasters do it they are immediately pointed and de-indexed as well as named as a “bad neighborhood” by google and technorati as well, but when big corporations do it they are reviewed on several high-profile blogs/sites as something “great” now what is so great in showing news from other blogs on a site and getting indexed for it? Frankly i don’t like or support techmeme and the whole auto blog era as a whole.blogrunner_1194200582125.png

What they are doing is nothing fancier then being a public feed reader with some really attractive features i might add, if its not enough to have one around now there are 2, NY times released their own version of techmeme, calling it Blogrunner.

Now look at these stats:

Right now as far as i can see the sites hold no high authority at google but over time they will. And at that point do you think your site will be doing well if techmeme or blogrunner is showing your data on their sites?

After a few weeks tehy are at 40-50k pages in Google, and growing amazingly fast, and we see no actions of de-indexation on them.

    I think the difference here is showing only titles along with possibly a snippet while spam sites tend to have scraped content with no value.

    spamming is surely a threat to cyber space. most of the spammers are also hackers and they break into your pc as soon as you click on their email links. in order to fight the spam threat we need a strong spam filters for our emails which secures us from most of the spam mails. i have heard that http://www.zapak.com is one of the good e-mail service provider who gives maximum protection from most of the spam mails, now that is what we internet lovers require.
