Ok so what is being said is that there are multiple uses for the same software: one use is “automating content reorganization” and the other is called “scraping”
What would you call this type of software? THAT is what I’m trying to talk about.
Here is some of the jewels we may have been able to discuss (I would like to hear about)
(a) what’s the best software
(b) what type of dynamics and information are u using to compile cool sites
(c) can we see some examples of these sites etc…
And in the discussion of this software we could talk about “scraping” and this “content reorganization” (the two uses of it) but hopefully it would remain a professional conversation so that information was exchanged instead of people sniping about the “evil” of it all… (I mean guns are “bad” too if given to the criminially insane; and I want one for myself when they get here!!!)
But I don’t think we can have a fruitful conversation in such a charged enviornment. I did not mean to kindle a debate here. Content theft is wrong hands down – as the purchaser of multiple $1000s of dollars in articles and content, you don’t have to preach to me. I simply was trying to get a discussion going on about the software and it’s possible uses.
