More noise
At the moment, the last 7 links to MemeMachineGo! on Technorati are from 4 new blogs. They were obviously automatically created by the same script, which creates a Blogspot account and blog, and then populates entries with the results of websearches.
I assumed at first they were trying to make themselves a target for searches on their topics, to sell Google ads, but there’s no advertising. Maybe that comes later, or maybe it’s an experiment.
Either way, it’s another flavor of spam, and I don’t like it.
(This article coming soon to the new blog, “Internet spam resources.”)
This guy went to blogspot blogs at random, and found that 42 of the first 150 were spam blogs. That's probably not a statistically significant sample, but it looks like there are a whole lot of them.
