Comment Spam?

Tag: Rants @ 3:39 am

I just spent the last half an hour cleaning out all the comment spam on my site. People are trying to sell you all sorts of drugs, and god only knows what else on my site!

I hate comment spam. I wish they would stop it. I really don’t see the point. I mean, c’mon, what do they get out of posting random, long comments with links to all sorts of sites on my site. Everyday, at least 3 spam comments are added on my blog. It’s really getting to be a chore to go and delete all of these unwanted comments.

I suppose the whole point of all this is to fool search engines (especially google) into some sort of link popularity gimmick wherein a lot of sites have these comment spam links to their sites and their page rating increases because of so many blog sites linking to them.

Somebody should still shoot these idiots though. :(

Unky Moods!

Tag: Discoveries @ 7:32 am

            

Came across this nice site dedicated to providing a mood widget for personal websites. Its called Unky Moods and it’s got a huge list of moods that one can choose from. The idea being that you sign up on their site and then choose a mood to depict the way you’re feeling. The site gives you a small piece of HTML code (it’s javascript) that you can paste in your own web site code. Then whenever you want to change your mood you just need to head over to Unky Moods and the mood widget automatically displays the mood you choose there, on your website. I’ve set it up on the right bar of dhigu.com, check it out!
