Splogs Clog Blog Services 241
SuperWebTech writes "A new generation of spam has emerged lately in the form of automatically-created spam blogs, or "splogs." One wily programmer manipulated Blogger's API to create a "spamalanche" of thousands of blogs whose sole purpose was to increase their real sites' pagerank. This clogged search engine results while filling RSS feed services with useless listings. Though Google, Blogger's owner, is doing its best to fix the problem, in the meantime several services have stopped listing any site they host. So far nobody has found a solution."

On a similar note, I think "Splogs Clog Blog Logs" would be a much better title.
There should be an annual Seuss day where all article titles must be tongue twisters, and all summaries must be done in nonsensical rhyme.
