Nasty Scrapings
I’ve been scraped, which is both a surprise and a disappointment at the same time. Some automated system has decided it liked the look of my post on the 12th and decided it fit the criteria for inclusion on their entirely synthesised site. Nice of them to include a link back to the original article, so that makes it alright then…
Of all the things that I considered when I started this test installation, and I’ll reiterate that it’s only a test at this stage, being used by a automated tool to provide handy chunks of content for someone else’s link farm wasn’t one of them. Frankly I didn’t think there would be anything that’d interest anyone else other than myself and a few friends I’ve pestered into helping me test the site.
So the lesson for the day is, underestimate the depth and breadth of the internet at your peril. Here endeth the lesson.
