I’ve been getting a new type of comment spam on my other blog. The spam is a statement that is very coherent and totally relevant to the post, but then at the end has a link to a page that is filled with a huge list of links to other pages on the site – all for the sake of trackbacks. My guess is that they are copying text from other blogposts, then googling for related blog posts then pasting the other blog’s text along with their own link into the comments.

Excellent “starting a user group” story and advice…
The Igloo Coder (aka Donald Belcham) who is the president of the Edmonton .NET User Group, has written a wonderful series of posts about his experiences and lessons of starting up that group along with a posse of others. I love that he talks about things like motivation in addition to more practical matters. Highly recommended reading.
Also, INETA has been doing a series of webcasts about starting and running a user group. Check them out at live.ineta.org.
Thanks to Leon Bambrick for making sure I didn’t miss the Igloo Coder series!
