Re: Excerpts, Scraping and Fair Use

Great article as always!

I have a question to raise: It's one thing to quote a source occasionally or when relevant, but how about semi-legitimate scrapers that do this repeatedly and create individual pages that consist of content that is scraped from a single source? And in some instances from what I have seen, they include every single post. So they are essentially creating a "mirror" of the original source.

Re: Rumors Persist That Two Models Will Replace Canon 5D

I think because they introduced the 50D under the D300, it seems that they have left themselves enough room for two DSLRs between the 50D and the 1D-series. So instead of going head to head, they seem to be playing checkers :)

Re: louisgray.com: Roll Your Own Blog Leaderboard With Google Reader Trends

I discovered this yesterday, and liked the idea so much that I created one today! It's a fun exercise! I combined shared+starred+reads, but gave the reads a lower weight.

@Svetlana Gladkova, how about a normalized leaderboard, where the number of shared posts is divided by the total number of posts during the month? That way a blog with 500 monthly posts and 50 shared would be equal to a blog with 50 monthly posts and 5 shared?

Re: Most Bloggers Don’t Deserve Ad Revenue: What About Startups?

In a way, one should think of a blog in financial terms as a nano-startup (pre-IPO). A very small number of people may be lucky and make it big right away, but I think being patient and doing it "the right way" increases the chances of succe$$ for the majority of bloggers.

Obviously with blogging the range of profits/losses is nowhere near as wild as with a start-up, thus the term "nano" :)

But as pointed out above in detail, the financial risk with frugal blogging can be minimized, while the potential has no theoretical limit, but it certainly has a reality-check limit!

Re: Battlestar Galactica: Pegasus

This along with the next two (R. Ship #1/#2) I think are some of the most critical episodes in the whole series. Not to mention that "Razor" was anchored and spawned by the impact the Pegasus episodes had on the show and the fanbase.
