Flashes of Panic

While looking for something else, today I stumbled across a “weblog” on Blogspot which appeared to be mechanically generated. (Let’s put it this way… I looked at the author’s “profile” and they’re averaging about 250 posts per week.) It appears to be generated from news-site feeds, apparently a search for a particular keyword, because each post is just a sentence or two plus a link. Every link is to the same place, and—surprise, surprise—that’s a .biz website.

After all, why comment-spam everyone else’s weblog when you can create your own and spam actual entries…
