Amazon Pursues Plogging Patent

theodp writes "When it unveiled a beta of Plogs (personalized blogs), a nonpublication request Amazon had in effect prevented the USPTO from disclosing that Plogs were patent-pending. But now you can check out Amazon's patent application for the Personalized selection and display of user-supplied content to enhance browsing of electronic catalogs, which describes how 'blurbs' can be made available in a blog format for viewing by others."

It's dejavu all over again ..

[GNUALMAFUERTE]

We are seing articles about patent applications at least once a week.
We have another potencial litigious bastard here, but, what do we gain by saying the same stuff each time we see such a story? (and beleive me, you will se a lot more in the future)
Just add this to your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 www.amazon.com
127.0.0.1 amazon.com

Don't buy anything from them, don't recommend amazon to friends, don't keep a wishlist, don't even go to the frkn site, don't click on banners, etc,etc.

It's the only way we can fight them.
