I dont know if I’m ready for 3.0 but I think its slowly evolving into 3.0 Everyone is picking up on the bandwagon and when someone does something people pick up on it and it evolves and migrates. So I think we’re all prepping for 3.0

More people read my blog than my company website so in effect my blog has become my company site

Eventually, Lawyers will figure out a way to make money suing scrapers. The real problem is when proper credit is not given to the source.
Bloggers will adapt. If they stop the scrapers will not have anything any way.

I would love it if APIs provided more configuration options to content owners. Right now, my choices are: fully distribute my content according to the general terms of the API, or opt-out completely (and unfortunately, some major APIs don’t even provide opt-out options — Not cool). A nice middle ground providing more control to content authors would be nice. It would help us share more than we’re willing to do today.

Same as authenticated feeds. Not all content put on the web is meant for public viewing… for instance, we may post private photos and other sensitive information targeted only to a small audience. But today’s RSS feeds don’t work with private content. It’s all or nothing: Make it totally public, or don’t have it on the feed at all.

I think there’s a certain number of bloggers out there who are simply using blogging as a clip-board for the web. Cutting and pasting original articles from other places into their blog and not acknowledging the source, differentiating it from their own content or even linking back. Robotic content scrapers are a problem, but they’re ones the search engines and technology will deal with (as we see them constantly get delisted on Google and Technorati).

The organic content scrapers who are also bloggers are much harder to deal with.

There are ways to protect your content from scrapers. Using AJAX for example fights most robots and scrapers. But that means the content will not be searchable by search engines.

So there’s the rub.

When legitimate sites like Google and Technorati employ the same or similar technologies to the unscrupulous - you have to take the good with the bad.

What about creating our own API’s for our blogs for these legitimate sites? Allow Google, Yahoo, Technorati, etc access through a back door that can be tracked and monitored??

Would anyone want to create a WordPress API plug-in ?? Would Google find this of benefit?

Only time will tell how we relate in the future
