I am not a fan on Mr. Calacanis’s Weblogsinc. http://www.slashstar.com/blogs/tim/archive/2005/06/14/Taking_Weblogs_Inc_to_Task.aspx Taking Jason Calacanis, and Weblogs Inc, to task
posted on Tuesday, June 14, 2005 3:30 PM by Tim
Weblogs Inc. blogs (such as Engadget) include a READ link on the post, but do not also include this on the syndicated feed. I’m not suggesting this is for sinister reasons like some, because I know that Jason is normally a crusader against ethically questionable practices.

The fact remains, however, that there is still no attribution in the feed, despite Jason’s public acknowledgement of the problem. I can’t imagine it’s anything more than a minor change to the syndication template, so, taking a page out of Jason’s playbook, I’m calling them out.

If you want to be seen as a leader of ethics in this space, you need to set the right example and maintain the highest standards. At best, this is the equivalent of providing partial feeds. At worst, if you think like Tyme, it’s misappropriating others’ content, at least for the significant percentage of folks who read via aggregators.

How long has Weblogsinc operated, years? Adding one tiny stinking link is a technical thing? Is your blogware that bad? Guess so. Jason admit you do it for the page views as Juka pointed out and move forward. Ignore the question about removing comments on your blogs too? Feh

Thanks for including Duct Tape Marketing. Considering we only launched about 10 days ago it was a great surprise to make the list already. One point of distinction, we like to call ourselves a Blog Channel!

Thanks again

Thanks for the number one slot…. however, it really doesn’t matter who’s first frankly. There will be a ton of winners in this space… in fact there will be a ton of #1s across different verticals.

I’d put Weblogs SSL is the third best network right now behind WIN and Gawker. They are getting decent traffic, solid writers, and have great design (our design in fact!).

This will be on all the blogs shortly as we move over to Blogsmith 1.0.

Juka: We know about this issue and we have solved it in half our feeds. it’s a technical thing.. .we have to slam two fields together from our database (the blog post and a “read/link” field. It’s just a tech oversight that we are fixing right now.

Jason Calacani’s Weblogs, Inc is the only blog network that does not include links to the articles in the RSS feed. Jason does this to gain the click through and page view$. Very dishonest. The RSS feeds have ads too! When questions of this are raised on Weblogs, Inc he deletes the comments. Shame on Jason.
