If you've been reading along from the beginning of this blog, you'll know that at times there have been people that 'scraped' other devs blogs. One particularly good one was scraping Tim Heuer to the point that he even scraped a post Tim did about Zappos (go figure).
We got rid of that guy, or maybe he morphed into someone else, but at least the site went away.
Today I had an author write me that something I had posted about in SC was his work rehashed. I haven't heard back from author2 yet. If I take into consideration the dates of posting and the fact the artwork on the post was an exact match, not to mention the text and links ... if this was one of my University of Phoenix students, I'd have filed a plagiarism report already!
Now my request:
In case you don't know me, this is a one-pony circus here... I look at a LOT of blogs every day and cull the good stuff out to put on my SC posts. 'Back in the Day' it was somewhat easier to see duplication, but with the volume of blogs now, it appears that is impossible. So I'm asking everyone to help me and if you see something that looks familiar, let me know immediately! ... even if the original work is not yours.
This will just make the SC posts that much more relevant and a better delivery for all involved.
Thanks! and
Stay in the 'Light!
