emphasis added:

Yes, there are lots of sharing services. But here’s the thing, they don’t actually share the content. They share links to content. VERY different.

    If you want to take an article from one site and publish it on another, you have to find a person, get permission, and then manually copy it. Assuming you don’t break all the formatting in the process, you’re still not in good shape because you still have to worry about search engines seeing it as duplicate content.

With Repost, I can just copy-and-paste an embed code into my post, and then you get the full article, with all the formatting and images preserved.

Show me one place where there is not a copyright issue nowadays. It's long past ridiculous.

So my content will appear elsewhere but 'nicer'?   :huh:

I thought with someone else's blog post, you just had to make proper attribution to the original author and site. Didn't think you had to get permission. Do you?
