Bump Dot Net For the People

This article from today’s New York Times pictures(without any sort of credit) the recipe of the day from the Foodvision.com site that my company built. I don’t know if they asked for permission from Foodvision to picture it, but it’s for that reason that I don’t really like services like the ones discussed in this article. They take a small snippet from a Web site and picture it out of the context that the site intended that content to be show. It’s sort of involuntary reverse syndication. I guess the argument would be that this gets your site a visitor and exposure, but I would argue that without the context of the site it really doesn’t benefit the content provider in a commercial environment very much.
