A great article on Plagiarism Today.
As those of you who read this site regularly should know, I’ve been pretty POed about the blog spam and splogging situation. I subscribed to the Plagiarism Today feed because of its excellent articles about copyright and the fight against feed scraping by sploggers.
Today’s article about WordPress.com was an especially good read. From Why WordPress.com is Virtually Spam Free on PlagiarismToday:
It seems as if nearly every major free blog hosting service has been either overrun or nearly overrun with spam. However, one services stands alone, a relative oasis of spam cleanliness, Automattic’s WordPress.com . Despite being just as free as its competitors and placing few restrictions on registration, WordPress.com has not endured the spam avalanche that other services have.
The article author, Johnathan Bailey, interviewed WordPress founder Matthew Mullenweg to learn why WordPress.com is so spam-free. The article is enlightening and highly recommended.
