Last week I posted an interview with Alicia Navarro, founder and CEO of Skimbit. About 24 hours after the interview went live, I received an email from Alicia. You see, Alicia tracks the word ‘Skimbit’ and she received an alert about a site posting an interview with her. Except the interview wasn’t here on CN, but on another site, bloggertrail. They copied my content. Normally these bastards copy the content exactly the same, but in the case of bloggertrail, they put it through some sort of Web blender. And they didn’t even link back to the original source.

Here’s my version of the content in question:

"I met Alicia Navarro when I posted my selections for the Mashable awards. Alicia is the founder of a social decision making tool called Skimbit out of London. I’ve enjoyed learning more about the tool via our email exchanges and I asked if she’d be willing to participate in an interview so that ya’all could learn more about her service. She agreed and our conversation transcript is below. Allen: Can you provide a brief background about yourself? Alicia: I’m of Spanish-Cuban descent, born"

And here is the bloggertrail version:

"I met Alicia Navarro when we posted my selections for the Mashable awards . Alicia is the owner of the amicable preference creation apparatus called Skimbit out of London . I’ve enjoyed guidance some-more about the apparatus around the email exchanges as well as we asked if she’d be peaceful to experience in an talk so which ya’all could sense some-more about her use . She concluded as well as the review twin is next. Allen: Can we yield the short credentials about yourself? Alicia: I’m of Spanish-Cuban skirmish, born"

Alicia should be excited. No longer is Skimbit a company, it’s an ‘amicable preference creation apparatus’. If that’s not the funniest thing today, I don’t know what is.

I refuse to link to the site but if you want to see bloggertrail, just go to bloggertrail.com.
