General Software Discussion / Re: Google steals the Web

« on: October 09, 2009, 02:39 PM »

 Hi Paul,
  Have not even checked out the rest of this forum.. My stats notified me my link was posted here so thought I would come look ..

 When I get some time I will look at the forum more. I am a developer + I run many websites and deal with many customers so I do not always have the time to look around.

 Thanks,
 James

True, but unfortunately that's the pay-off with using such terms that can be perceived as sensational and adding to a sales pitch.

It's too late now anyways but it was just a suggestion.

Maybe you can ask mouser to move your comments in the Deals section so it comes off as less spammy for future readers.

 Hi Paul,
  The reason why I would not post links because that just aches on the problem and that is the last thing I wish to do. I built a solution to help stop all the spamming and foul comments before other sites do suffer.

  James

random comments of unknown others spray-painted on my fence, or the window of my business

Bwahaha! Somebody pull him out of his cave!

I like the concept - (no more signing up every time I want to say something, no more "We're Lifehacker - you can't just comment here, you need to qualify first!") - but how the hell will they moderate this monster? An easily abused system will not just be bad for the site owners, it'll hurt Google too... or will it?...

Reg. blocking toolbars: how long before Google/whoever comes up with a solution that isn't browser-based?

I don't think it's completely no sign-up. From what I understand, you still need a Google Toolbar.

Why is it that so many people who want to sell you something web related always seem to feel the need to wedge the child molester bogeyman someplace in their sales presentation? Are there that many frightened and technologically challenged parents and school officials out there that people still get away with using this argument?

Shush! This guy's the next Steve Jobs. 

@BlockSide Wiki

I'm kidding but IMO this is normally the wrong audience for these kind of comments. It really does come off as a sales pitch.

A specific link would probably help when making such grand accusations. (Social proof and all that)

Not saying I understand the entire DC community though. Just my ignorant guess.

 I am not trying to post a sales pitch but facts.. Some sites have already had the child molestor thing done. I created Block SideWiki because of the damage it can do and has already done. The js solutions do not protect your site or your reputation.

 Many sites have already suffered at the hands of what google has done and the fact that this is our sites and not googles, gives google no right to have comments posted on the "side" of our sites. This is borderline illegal what google is doing and many of us will not stand for it.

 I created a 50% discount because it is posted on a paid for special offer on a forum.

You do not have to have it installed for your competition, child molestors, warez users, and etc to post comments on your sites...

Hitting all the "hot button" phrases aren't we? Especially the "child molesters" part.

@BlockSideWiki - could you add a little more to this discussion than just dropping a thinly veiled sales pitch?

I am very pleased with not having anything from Google installed ;-)

 SKA,
  Yes there is a market for it .. I am the developer of Block SideWiki, I created it because the javascript solutions do not fully protect you and that sidewiki defeat does not even detect the google toolbar which means all urls are changed and could damage your seo...

  I can provide you with a 50% discount + earn cash and prizes - I am giving away 2 entire niche blogs to 2 of my lucky customers.

 James

scancode is right - this site http://google-toolbar.blocksidewiki.com/  offers a PHP script for USD 46/-

Is there really a market for this ?
