I found a great comment in my moderation queue today. It’s from a guy named Richard who “know(s) you get a lot of spammy comments, I can help you with this problem.” In exchange for placing a link to his site he will talk to the spammers he knows and ask them not [...]

As of Saturday the ad was no longer visible on Mercado Livre, an auction site partially owned by Ebay. Mercado Livre was warned the it was violating a law banning [...]

I don’t care how much you like working for Google, you shouldn’t name your kid Google. Maybe it’s just a ploy to get people to link to him (whoops, guess I’m helping the cause) so they’ll click on the AdSense ads he has all over the page.
