What Is It With This Article?
Back in February I wrote an article entitled "What Is It With Firefox?" It's nothing special, it's nothing that hasn't been said before, in fact, the last paragraph is incorrect, and it's certainly not worthy of the response it has received since I published it.
I did a search on google for my article, and I was presented with 389 results. That's 385 more than I was expecting. (I submitted it to 3 article sites, and posted it on the FTG Weblog). What surprised me the most though, is the amount of scraper sites that have got their hands on it.
Don't get me wrong, I know that that is what scraper sites do, but I don't see any immediate benefit behind these sites using my article. It's written by me; there's your first flaw, it's incorrect at the end; there's your second flaw, it is completely unrelated to the rest of the scaped content (minus the few words they scraped it for); there's your third flaw.
Three strikes, your out.
