I received an invite to join Foodcandy. I spotted the odd blogger that I recognise, but I can't tell whether this is effectively a blog farm, or something of interest. I guess, the fact I can't tell probably means it's not of all that much interest. Anyone else heard of it/using it?
Cheers

I got an invite too. I think they just want to farm our content. I decided against it.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a new forum looking for members.
ReplyDeleteSites that want to farm your content can just use your feeds to do so. Many already do this without our permission.
Interesting sleuthing: google a sentence from one of your posts...
I joined because db's picture was cute. I didn't see the content farm - i thought it was a forum. i admit I haven't been back there since the day i joined, but that is because there are too many things to do and too little time.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm wrong and it's not a farm.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I got an email and checked out the site. It looked slightly classier than the usual blog farm but didn't really think it was a forum either. I thought I would keep the email and check back.
ReplyDeleteI don't get excited about these things (at least since the first one when I realized that all they wanted was my content and wouldn't really respect me or share the ad revenues in the morning). That's partly because I have never seen a stat for a reader of mine coming through one of these sites.
I kind of have a wait and see attitude about it. If anybody finds out more let me know.
Funny I just got an email myself. What the heck, right?
ReplyDeleteIT seems like it's more of a match.com meets foodbloggers or something. I won't be going that often I'm afraid.
Me too. It doesn't look very interesting.Nothing added.....
ReplyDeleteI just deleted everything from Food Candy because once you're signed up and visit the site, they show your picture/that you're online. Privacy, folks, privacy!
