Splogs Clog Blog Services

SuperWebTech writes "A new generation of spam has emerged lately in the form of automatically-created spam blogs, or "splogs." One wily programmer manipulated Blogger's API to create a "spamalanche" of thousands of blogs whose sole purpose was to increase their real sites' pagerank. This clogged search engine results while filling RSS feed services with useless listings. Though Google, Blogger's owner, is doing its best to fix the problem, in the meantime several services have stopped listing any site they host. So far nobody has found a solution."

Yes, and those two bucks will also be very affordable for poor people in third world countries. They'll just have to go a day without food, no problem!
Well, if they're spending all their time surfing the net and sitting in front of their computers then no wonder they're living below the poverty line.
No priorities, that's their problem. They spend all their money on a PCI-E graphics card and then can't afford rice to feed their child...
