I'm pretty sure that was intentional judging by the note at the beginning of the post ;).

Robert,
I replied to your comment on the youtube article.
FWIW, seriously sites are not splogs. There is no advertising or any attempt to monetize, there is clear attribution, the links all point to the original, the content is limited to what is in the rss feed. And anybody can opt out via email. For the record Duncan never asked me to take his content off - privately or otherwise. I have however done so after this blatant attempt to create interest in his blog amidst a fake controversy.
If anything ever comes from the seriously project (I'm not on the team) it will be very different to what is on the site today. But what is there today is not a splog.
Final point. I was very responsive to Duncan's emails earlier yesterday (which I will keep private), and in mid discussion he posted this idiotic piece. I'll admit, I was taken aback, and angry. So I counted to ten. Now 24 hours later, I just think he is wrong. Anybody who knows me - and Duncan does a little - would know I do not have a bad intention in my personality. It kinda sucks.
On a bigger point - distribution of content is central to any media. Attribution and reward are of course key (no disagreement from me). Duncan seems to think the very act of aggregation is a sin. Reminds me of a lot of bad actors seeking to preserve out-of-date models.
But maybe thats just me.....

You missed my point Keith. You are screwing with me on FriendFeed. I don't like it. Please stop putting my headlines into FriendFeed as your own posts. That's nasty and no one else is doing this. You are the only one and you are definitely about to get blocked there and I'm about to go nuclear too. Do you really want every blogger and FriendFeeder to hate you? Please figure out why your behavior here is pissing us off and stop it. Thanks.

I think I explained privately sufficiently for you to know that EVERYTHING in this article is not true.
As you know seriously is an old - highly experimental - project that I was responsible for initiating. It remains HIGHLY experimental in investigating the concept of vertical aggregation for passion driven niche subjects.
Secondly, I ceased to be involved in it day-to-day some time ago. It is run by several people whom I trust to understand the difference between a splog and a serious product. seriously is NOT a serious product at this stage.
I think your post is designed to be a sensationalist link catcher, traffic bait, and not a serious post.
You recall that I said I'd be happy to ask the team to remove any blog - yours included - that didn't want to be part of the experiment.
You've really gone down in my estimation with this silly post.

feel free to continue spinning it which ever way you want, but ultimately you are republishing the full text of other blogs without permission. It's an experiment that includes you promoting other peoples content on this site via FF and seemingly via social sites as well. That Keith is called splogging, and it's something I've been writing about and covering since 2003 so I'm fairly well qualified in placing the label :-)

Keith: you are ABSOLUTELY in the wrong with reprinting my stuff into FriendFeed like you did here: http://friendfeed.com/e/8aeace02-5d7e-00b4-f741...
You are definitely spamming and reusing my stuff and your reputation has gone way down. Duncan might not have gotten all the little details right, but he's absolutely right that what you are doing is nasty and is not welcomed by me.
