Content Thief

Duncan Riley at The Blog Herald and raving lunacy both blogged about a scam artist offerring to sell for $297 a system that would steal another blogger's content from their RSS feed and post it in your blog. This is a direct quote from one of the screens in this product "Gather Content Takes articles from RSS and ATOM feeds to use for content on your blog." The product even says "And, if you prefer, you can even add your own content." Gee, isn't that nice. A blogging program that lets you insert your own content, if you prefer. And "Each time an article is posted, ***** pings the 14 major Blog and RSS directories to “wave” at the Search Engines, which sends their Spiders running to your site. Total time at this stage, less than 2 minutes." Gee. it tells all of these other sources you posted something, even if you were asleep.

Note I have blanked out the name of their product, and am not linking to it. I don't want this post to add anything that would increase the visibility of this product.
