Comments on: Attributor Names Socialmedian Worst Splogger for a Top Web 2.0 Blog http://www.centernetworks.com/attributor-fairplay-socialmedian-splogger Web 2 and Social Media News and Reviews Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:27:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Jason Goldberg http://www.centernetworks.com/attributor-fairplay-socialmedian-splogger#comment-20687 Jason Goldberg Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-20687 This is silly Allen. If I read your post correctly you're saying that socialmedian is the site that Profy's content is most often shared on. Is that a bad thing? And EVERY post on socialmedian includes a link back so have no idea what you are talking about. This is silly Allen.

As you and Jason point out, this can be a very good thing, especially if they link back to you. It really depends on the author and how they wish to license their work. This is one of the key concepts behind FairShare - you assign your license and your results are tailored to your licensed. I see that you signed up for beta - it will be a few weeks before we are ready for more testers, but I'm eager to get your feedback. Let me know if you have questions! Rich Hi Allen,

I assume you block Google from indexing the pages that feature other’s content – correct?

Let’s start there.

I have not accused Social Median of splogging, I just thought it was funny that a service that is "named the #2 new web service by a leading silicon valley blogger" and is enjoying rising popularity in the crowd even appears to look like a splog to a third-party service that works with the largest publishers like Reuters to track their content for them. Maybe it is some indication that something should be changed in the default setting for Socialmedian not to look this suspicious? Just an idea, though.
