No matter how popular the place where you saw it is, there’s probably someone reading you who didn’t see it, and wants to. Don’t fear mindless link propogation quite so much, it’s part of the value of weblogs.
Google finally has blog search, now that there’s so much blog search engine spam that it’s useless.
Most of my trickle of manual comment spam doesn’t bother me much, but searching for “‘html allowed’ blog” and then spamming an entry titled “Don’t make me look stupid” is a bit annoying.
Attention weblogs: you can email me twice, in case I forgot the first time, but then you need to shut up until you’ve got something new to tell me.
It may not have ever done us much good, but the Trackback pings as an RSS feed is apparently helping out one Trackback spammer.

According to the bottom of every Technorati page, … something is under a Creative Commons license. According to the Terms Of Service, you can’t even “download” or “use for any purpose” any of their materials without prior written permission from the owners. Who, it must be noted when considering their license, are almost never Technorati.
Yahoo!’s new Creative Commons search is cool, but given the horrible state of people’s explanation of what content is and isn’t licensed, I can’t believe they return anything which links to a license, without any disclaimer that some or all of any result may not actually be offered under a CC license.

No wonder I never heard from the Blogger Developers Network: I’m two feed URLs and one HTML URL behind where they currently hide it.
