Martin B. That is a question I wish Nick would have thought of before launching fav.or.it.

As one of the blog owners whose full copyrighted feed is being displayed without permission, I’m not at all happy about it. The way fav.or.it is set up makes it look like I am a full participant and contributor to the site, when in fact I’m mad as heck that my copyrighted feed is being published without my consent.

Furthermore, I know several other bloggers who are plenty mad about this too.

Martin B. – The idea is that Feedbroker (launching shortly) will allows content owners to control how their feed appears in Favorit. If they don’t want it there they just remove it etc

Hmm, sounds good but I’m wondering.. do all those blogs really don’t mind? fav.or.it is displaying full entries and full feeds all hosted on their site.. it actually takes a while of clicking till you get a link to the source blog.. Is that OK with everyone or am I missing something here?

Swap Western and Eastern!

The Western hemisphere would probably get more coverage, if they didn’t just clone everything the Eastern hemisphere does.

Nice to here about more UK startups, we’re getting there. I think though we need to have a big breakthrough with an app/service to kickstart more.

Government backed!??

Glad to see their not wasting tax payers money on sites that already exists in their thousands.

Maybe they got pulled in by the old clever domain trick.
