A lot of comments and responses on my official and personal blogs have been redirected to similar machine generated blogs. I thought they were spammed and eventually taken down. Blogspot and Wordpress tries quite hard to keep out machine generated content, going by some of their help sections on spam comments. There was something on AOIR (or a similar list, my apologies if i got it wrong) that discussed machine generated spam content. Will post it as soon as i find it in the archives. Is anyone on the list aware of studies that examined machine generated content? Thanks, Arun On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 7:44 PM, Stephen J Cavrak Jr <Steve.Cavrak@uvm.edu>wrote:
Blogbots at large?
Does anyone here know the story (stories) behind the apparently machine generated blog(posts) like this one ... http://j.mp/9Zhv6O ... (nee http://dominic.bestestzone.com/2010/09/04/the-story-of-the-barefoot-bandit/ )
(In this case, bestestzone.com hosts a dozen or so similar blogs, each, interestingly, with a different wordpress template, etc ... #curiousminds
Thoughts, suggestions, hints, etc, appreciated.
