Blog Rush observation

29 01 2008

I’ve noticed something interesting about BlogRush, a service I use to syndicate the RSS feeds of the blogs I run for my own sites, including Battlestar Wiki and Frak Media!

They don’t syndicate things with vulgarisms in the title (which isn’t a bad thing, in and of itself) or, in fact, technical terms for genitalia. Like the “penis lantern“, which happens to be the 3,000th article on the English-language edition of Battlestar Wiki. I noticed this because the two blogs I’ve posted on BW and FM weren’t syndicated, which kinda pissed me off, seeing as “penis lantern” is a benign term and should have been syndicated, regardless.

I should also note that they didn’t syndicate my blog on Best Buy fucking over their employees by forcing them to off-the-clock searches or working through mandatory lunch breaks. This is because of the word “fuck” in the title.

Of course, it’ll be hilarious if this blog post gets syndicated, despite the use of the word “penis” in the body of this blog. This would only prove that people can manipulate BlogRush as so long as their blog’s titles are innocent and uncontentious, but the content is anything but thus.
