Wednesday 09/08/04 5:21 AM (NEW!) Actually, I really don't think that anything can be done. The copyright laws protect "original literary works," and even though Stiffler is definitely an "original" guy, I really don't think that message board posts are covered. For instance, many of us have re-posted threads and comments from AOC and vice versa. I think we should just let Billy Boy have his fun. Actually his blog is very funny to read...I know he didn't like it the last time I said that (because he posted his disgust at my comments!), but it is very comical. Oh yeah........THIS IS POST 1000!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!! ------------------------- Of course, that's just my opinion.

Ok, Bill. I see that as usual you have come off with the truth of the matter. You guys want to copy posts and stuff from AOC or Creditnet and that is all fine and dandy but when somebody else does it to you then you get all bent out of shape.
Sorry about that but what goes around comes around and quite often in spades.

So you want a link to your site, eh Bill??? Ok. There you go. I'll give you another one in just a bit.

Well, I see that the boys over at the collection industry corral have drifted off into taking wild-eyed potshots at anything they think might move over here so I'll just move on with something a bit more intelligent.

While you are laughing at blogs, you might just stop and look at what has happened to them just this year alone. The big event of the blogging year was when Google spent an ungodly number of millions of dollars a few months ago to buy out blogspot.com and take it under their wing.

Then they put out what are called Google API call ID numbers to any blogger who asked for one. Then Google put in it's own feed reader so that Google followers could hook onto any blog they wanted to keep up with through what is known as RSS feeds. So if you want to know what an RSS feed is all you have to do is click on this link and see for yourself what an RSS feed is like.

There are an awful lot of blog search engines out there that also use those RSS feeds. Do you see that big red "PING ME" link over there on the right hand column??? Go click on that and you will see a very small list of search engines that run on RSS feeds and that still don't include Google, Yahoo, MSN and many more of the big engines. That is the new way to submit to the search engines and you don't actually have to submit to the big ones. They come read your RSS feeds every day and turn them into links.

Then each day the archives are posted on the internet and they become separate webpages too. And those all have their RSS feeds which the engines all subscribe to as well.

But that is just the tip of the iceberg. That annoying pop-up that comes up at the top each time you log on is yet another way I spread this and my other blogs. It is actually an automatic link generator program and broadcasts my links all over the internet on other websites that also participate in the same program. And I also use another similiar swapping program that is used by several thousand large corporations such as PayPal, Bank One, Bank of America, most of the big banks in fact as well as insurance companies, law firms and all kinds of big companies so my ads are displaying on their monitor screens too.

I've got a whole computer room full of nothing but banks of computers running my ads all over the internet. All of them are networked and they never shut down. Last count, if I remember correctly I have about 135 computers running full time doing nothing but putting my ads all over the internet. A new ad is displayed every minute on each machine.

So now do you want to scoff at this silly little old blog you think nobody will see or read????

If so, be my guest.
