Amazon Pursues Plogging Patent

Posted by Hemos on from the add-it-to-the-one-click-patent-trophy dept.

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."

    Then maybe you should stop spending so much time here and go post on Limeydot or Tea&Crumpets.Org or Pip Pip and Cheerio, Mind Your Bloomers and Pass the Biscuits.Biz or whatever website you and your superior countrymen have come up with. In the meantime, just go back to hating our guts and shutting the fuck up about it. If we need your opinion we'll just swim across the pond and beat it out of you, okay?

    I recognize your patent and will promptly terminate my post. However, I have patented the process of "replying" to a posted individualized comment posted under your patent, there for you are in violation and must terminate your post.
