I have been notified that Blogger's "spam-prevention robots" have locked my blog.
Apparently my frequent links and "irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text" have suggested to Blogger's robots that this is a spam blog.
I'm waiting for them to unblock me, but as there is no way for me to publish posts, and no person for me to contact over in Blogger.land, there's nothing I can do.
They do apologize, however. "Because this system is automated there will necessarily be some false positives, though we're continually working on improving our algorithms to avoid these. If your blog is not a spam blog, then it was one of the false positives, and we apologize."
On my todo list: move blog over to Simmons.

and ... it's back. No apologies, no notification, just the removal of the nasty "your blog is a spam farm" notice. The good news? I don't have to do word verification if I want to post something.

Technorati released a blogosphere status report and after reading that it's "60 times bigger than it was only 3 years ago" and other factoids I looked at an accompanying chart and it struck me - there's surely going be a blog singularity. See...
- Journal Spam
I have a new term for describing excessive journal articles published by an individual that all contain the same or similar crap content: "journal spam". It seems particularly apt for describing a lot of the articles I've come across by certain individuals...
- Apologies To Comment Writers
I have been unable to update my blog for many months now, so I apologize to the many kind people who submitted comments and feedback about the blog and its contents. Thank you, -Anthony...
- Splogs = Bad News
An article in the September issue of Wired: Spam + Blogs =Trouble answers the question "why do I have to type 'zvtmzu' to post a comment on your blog?!" Because of splogs & link farms. Blech. Jon Gordon on Future Tense interviewed Charles C. Mann,...
- She's Back ... Kind Of
Hmm. Not sure what the status of this blog is, besides ... “quiet”. The new job is keeping me hopping, as is the part-time job on weekends. Less time to blog, and, sadly, less exposure to cool stuff in Cognitive Science. http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif...
