New Word for Spam: Linkosphere

Yes, that’s right folks. Step right up. We have a new buzzword to hide the fact that we’re scraping content and sending trackbacks to the original content. The new word is… Linkosphere.

So, pray do tell us Pierre, where would you come up with such a silly name? Why I’m glad you asked. It’s the service that’s been spamming me blog for the past few months, hosted at the one and only ectio dot us. See, them scrapers have a serious claim: "Find something to read, guaranteed!" I believe them given all the scraping they’re doing.

And thus because I am in the mood to return them the favo(u)r, I hereby declare them the prototypical scraposphere service. Beat that!
