BLOGSPOTTERS BEWARE!
To all bloggers using BlogSpot: Discovered via Shobha (via Anand) - BE AWARE of "a mega-site of Bible, Christian and religious information" masquerading ever-so-subtly-cleverly as your blog site. For example - click on the following links to see what I mean: bq. Visit ScaryDuck - the famous (so famous that I file it under 'pretentious') blog page at: bq. Or how about the famous Annie Mole's London Underground weblog at: bq. Or even the sound-bloke Diamond Geezer - font of all knowledge and infuriating puzzles blog at: Did you BlogSpot the difference?Posted by jag at September 1, 2003 05:12 PM

holy? (I bet that's what you were about to "un-") !

That stinks. So do they think poor typists will make easy converts? With strategies like this they're going to piss more people off than they'll 'save'. I hope Blogspot can do anything about it.

I'm actually quite glad that:
a) I started off on blogspot so my blogspot blog already exists so they can't take it over.
b) I'm not an a-list blogger so they wouldn't actually *bother* to pretend to be me ;o)

what's really weird is that I created one yesterday, out of boredom at work, and today they already had it as "http://maisondencre.blogpsot.com". They surely must have access to the blogger.com database to be so quick at spotted them ?

Actually - I think it's a default "catch-all" - i.e. anything.blogpost.com will redirect to the Bible resource site. Clever eh?

Pretentious? Moi?

OK - so perhaps 'pretentious' is not the best choice of word - but you can try to get my jist by clicking "EXPLANATIONS" in my left-hand side-bar.
And perhaps I should be priveleged to have you drop by :0 !?
