If we don't act, that sort of thing won't improve on its own ... --- BarnGoddess ... thank you for stopping in, and thank you for your kind words! You know, I have a shirt that says "Barn Goddess" on it! ;o) --- Frectis ... thanks for coming by and leaving me a message. I see that you also have a Bitacle post up on your blog - and that you're a fellow student! I also realize that I'd already been to your blog recently ... but I can't remember what led me there. Incipient Alzheimers! *LOL* Mimi - you have the straight scoop on that! If we don’t act, that sort of thing won’t improve on its own …

My entire blog is there from post one to the one I posted just hours ago. At first glance I had the same question Dr. Blogstein did. Isn't this just a search engine? NO. And here's why. Bitacles homepage looks very much like any other major search engines homepage. The first search I did from the first tab brought up my site. No problem, I thought. It's when you go to the AGGREGATES tab that you realize YOUR content, YOUR stories, YOUR graphics are haphazardly placed under THEIR webpage banner with THEIR ads at the top. There are other disturbing facts here. If you click on the link to your site in the top right corner a LOGIN box appears for blogger.com. WHAT??! There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page that says "All articles copyrighted by their respective authors." Very clever. There's ONLY one problem. WE'RE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. Go to the HELP page. It's almost incoherent. No wonder they have to steal my content; they can't write their own. I'm doing an entire post tomorrow on this issue. Stay tuned. And yes, Mimi is still miffed. UPDATE: I did a search from the Aggregates tab at Bitacle. My entire blog is there from post one to the one I posted just hours ago.

Dr. Blogstein … please read my reply to Curmudgeon for that … or even better, take a look at what Lorelle on Wordpress has to say about it. The “Stop Bitacle” blog explains things quite well in their “Stop Bitacle.org post“.

There’s a lot of good information about dopplebloggers on Lorelle’s blog.

I was a little confused at first too. My kids pointed a few things out to me though ... When you go Bitacle, there are 5 search tags ... the first 4 are regular searches, like Google's search.

Yes, I could find my blog using the Bitacle 2.0 search screen that came up when I clicked on the link in this post. It looks to be the same blog -- same Adsense ads -- same nonsense prose, current as of this morning. So... <em>is</em> it the same blog or not? Right now it looks more like a search engine than something that is making ghost copies and inserting it's own ads. How can you tell? Sorry to be so dense. I am confused.
