Why Syndic8?

October 17th, 2005

As many of you who use blog/RSS search engines have seen over the past few days, we’ve been hit by a bunch of blog spam, mostly coming from Blogspot blogs. It’s something that has been an ongoing problem, but have been noticed a lot lately. Take a look at the screenshot below, which shows an aggregated feed from the latest additions to Syndic8.

These are a specific type of spam blogs. They automagically aggregate news stories from the major news resources, throw up some Google ads, and hope to make a few bucks. Syndic8 doesn’t seem to be helping out as they are adding the spam feeds to their directories. Humph.
