Yesterday, it came to the attention of the authors of this blog, Angel and myself, via a tip from Mr. Fix, that this blog was being copied word for word and picture for picture. I checked out the site, http://www.feedagg.com/feed/119201/1053-KiSS-Fm-ViP-Blog, and at first, I was royally pissed that someone would copy this site without permission AND make money off our hard word via selling ad-space.
But upon further inspection I found that it was actually a compliment to all the hard work that I, Angel, and our contributing blog posters put into this ever growing blog.
According to the mantra on their home-page, "The goal of FeedAgg.com is simple; find the best blogs and news feeds on the internet and then rate and sort them through the independent actions of our visitors."
Unfortunately, the grade they gave the blog was only 50.5 out of 100, a D-. Hell, had I known we were going to be marked on this shit, I would have tried harder! Not bad for someone who often wonders, who, besides myself and Angel, actually reads this crap......thus, the reason I installed the weekly polls.
Speaking of which, Poll results for "Not including your computer monitor, but including your crappy 14" B&W TV at your cottage, how many working TV's do you own?", based on a record 164 responses....
41 Votes(25%)......3

I am the owner of FeedAgg and tried to contact you after seeing this post but I can't find an email address so I am posting here. If you would like me to delete the feed from our directory and news reader just drop me an email. We do everything we can to credit our sources and link back to the original content but we can only do what the rss feeds that are user submitted provide and in this case it looks like the titles aren't being processed right.
@ Bstewart
No worries, the more people that read the blog, the better. :-)
Both myself and Angel do this for the love of it, with nary a thought of ever being compensated for our work....other than having a "pop" or two bought for us at a future Meet and Greet of the KiSS ViP Blog readers and posters.... should one ever happen.
Because, as OUR mantra says, which btw was chosen by the creator of this blog - Crazyness - "Free Stuff Is The Best!".
And we ALL know that publicity, any publicity, especially FREE publicity is good. :-)
Bstewart, it can actually be kinda hard to contact the authors outside of this blog, because unlike our sister blog, Virgin Radio on RadioWall.com (run by our friends Greg, Helping and Helping_Sis) we are kind of an outlaw blog. We run this blog in direct contravention to the rules of KiSS Fm, it's owners (Rogers Radio) and the rules of the listener loyalty program, KiSS Fm ViP Club whose unofficial mantra may be "Free Stuff Is Good, BUT Sharing Bonus Codes is BAD and Against The Rules!"
So Bstewart, no worries and if you're looking for other blogs in this vein to pimp, may I suggest our sister blogs which are hyper-linked on our front page...especially RadioWall.com. They have 2 bogs dedicated to CHEZ Fm and Virgin Radio.
Good Morning Angel, Bstewart & all :-)
8am ViP Song: OneRepubic - Stop & Stare
