I have gotten 2 complaints so far today from people who were spammed
by
wikiverse.org. Wikiverse is a relatively nice and non-evil looking
Wikipedia mirror. But they are apparently sending emails to
webmasters who are in the "external links" section saying things
like:
==================
Dear webmaster at
firesigntheatre.com,
My name is Kate Weaver (though most people just call me Katz) and I'm
the Content Manager of
Wikiverse.org - A World of Knowledge, a
community of sites dedicated to providing high-quality informative web
+content.
We placed a link to your site
http://www.firesigntheatre.com in the
External Link section of the Homepage of:
http://the-firesign-theatre.wikiverse.org/ (Check it out!)
I would appreciate it if you returned the favor and linked back to
http://the-firesign-theatre.wikiverse.org/. Linking back to us will
also help maintain your link with us in the future.
===================
This is evil. There is not much we can do about it, I think, but I
just wanted to publicly shame them into stopping it.
