Okay, I will have to tell you the truth tonight about one of the biggest social networking sites, SpambleUpon, or most people call it, StumbleUpon.

They are making so much money off bloggers, basically StumbleUpon “scrapes” bloggers’ content and makes millions of dollars off you!  Even though no one has really “sued” them, they are in big trouble if bloggers start sueing them one by one.

Google should really ban them for “splogging”, every one of SU users’ blogs are “splogs” made up of content written by bloggers like you and me. (My traffic actually boosted after SU banned me, I think I was getting penalized for duplicate content by using SU.  Besides, don’t rely on backstabbing social networks who make millions dollars off your content and simply ban you later for “spamming”???  Are you kidding?  Go look at my DIYs, they are all original.  Lol…at least my blog isn’t full of splogs.  Here’s a post you can read about how to protect yourself against splogs although it won’t work with SU.)

Why?

Well, every “blog”, they say, is a “splog”, every image consisting of an image scraped off a “copyright protected” blog (Mind you, every “blog” is actually naturally protected from scraping, this site has about 10 other sites’ images w/o their written permission) . So, we simply took at the most top-left blog on their “Top Stumbler” list.

Well here it is:

As you can see, the image is “scraped” off another “original” blog. If you go to any of their “splogs”, the results is the same. They almost store 0% of their “splogs” images on their servers and simply scrape and live off other blogs.  SU is like a real big mosquito that lives off your blood, your blog post that “you” wrote and uploaded images. Their future will only rely on other bloggers’ content and NEVER their own.

So, what can you do?

You can always file a “copyright enfrigement” notice and lawsuit to SU, which their headquarters addresses I couldn’t even find, AND uninstall that hideous toolbar that takes too much of your life, time, and 50 pixels of height on your browser. (Most of their admins are “fake” people behind stupid 50×50 pixel images. They “pretend” they created a special technology when I could re-create a similar service within days.)

Then, simply head over to SiteHoppin, where every site is not “splogged” and is simply “bookmarked”.

Okay, here’s the 5 second wrap up:

1. Every blog on StumbleUpon is a “splog” made up of scraped images and text from other blogs

2. The only reason they don’t get sued is because they send websites traffic and a lot of website owners are happy about that.

3. Every blog in the world has now a “copyright enfringement” against SpambleUpon. If your content is on SU, you deserve the right to sue them for scraping your content.

Now, we don’t have to sue them. You do. So, in all, just stay away from these SpambleUpon guys and stick with the American Dream, SiteHoppin, where “real” developers develop w/o scraping bloggers’ content.

Now maybe we may be a little bitter but at least we fight for our right to be conscious about the “real truth” behind everything. Yeah, SU fucked up this time bad….real bad…let the truth be known even if you do continue to use SU, you will remember this when you get banned.

Here’s the address to send your copyright infringement letters about their “Splogs”: (This is the only real contact info you can find on their site baby)

In recent encounter with StumbleUpon, we have received about the same amount of traffic regardless. As you can see in the above graph, StumbleUpon only really helps those with small traffic. With out latest press release, we will be suing StumbleUpon for Copyright enfringement. That’s right. They don’t have the guts to take it outside and get their ass beat by me so I will have to take them to court.  Thanks a lot SU, for leaving that copyright enfringement on forever, which I have already copied on to my harddrive, servers, my 4gb flash, ipod, you name it bitch.

On top of it, they used some “under-the-table” methods to take my rankings to zero on Alexa although my StatCounter.com says I have the same amount of traffic.

Why would a web giant bought by eBay go through this? I think they are dumb, that’s my honest opinion. No matter what, they will never stop Zedomax.com from saying what’s true and what’s not. The truth? I helped them gain more stumblers and visitors. That’s right. I controlled the black market of SU simply by providing them with more traffic. Yet, they have the balls to go against me for helping them and they listen to their stupid ass “spam” stumblers more than loyal customers like me.

Don’t worry, we are gonna sue them for copyright enfringement. That’s right. They took my whole post of writing and put it on their main SU discussion page. I already copied most it so, don’t even bother erasing. You guys are fucked as hell for disturbing a blog/wiki/social network business.

C you in court, happy site hoppin!

The lesson learn here?

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Go digg, stumble, reddit, and make it the same. Don’t depend on one big guy, because one day, he will fuck you over like SU did to me. At least, I got something to sue them big time.

In a recent encounter with StumbleUpon’s banning of 20 accounts in our network, we have conjured up a little bit of something we read in a book by Guy Kawasaki, “How to drive your competition crazy.” In the book, there’s an example of how Ben & Jerry’s turned a law-suit into an hilarious marketing victory.

Here’s our version on StumbleUpon’s latest diplomatic policies:

Do you think the Stumbleboy is afraid of two guys working in a rented apartment of 800 square feet?

Do you think the Stumbleboy is afraid he’s only going to make $61.3 million in profits instead of $61.8 million?

Do you think that maybe the Stumbleboy is afraid of the American Dream?

We only want to make the most fun site and let people of the internet make their choice on the internet, where guys like us can compete with guys like the Stumbleboy.

Next time you are surfing the web, uninstall that hideous looking 50 pixel StumbleUpon toolbar that takes up too much of your browser space and start using “extension-less” SiteHoppin. Because to tell you the truth, that’s what the Stumbleboy is really afraid of.

Hey, if you wanna help us and fight this bs, put this drunken button on your blog.  We will add you to our blogroll so you go up with us when our press release go out tomorrow.

Yeah, don’t ask me why, I have to start selling all of my websites one by one because I need to keep making a living.

Okay, if you want to be a dumba*s and don’t listen to people who are smarter, fu*k off and stop reading this post. If you are a smartass like me, then do listen carefully as I am going to show you how to shave 10 hours of your stupid ass “Entrecard” clickin’.

Simply goto SiteHoppin.com and choose “Entrecard” or the topic you desire. (Right now, we only have a couple Entrecard topics as we are still getting drunk but check back later for more topics)

Then, simply click on the “SiteHoppin” button and you go to the next blog with an Entrecard widget where you can drop cards like BOOM SHAKALAKA baby!

Okay, that was the secret. Make sure to not tell or blog to any dumba*ses and we will be fine with that. If you want to listen to any dumba*ses who still says a bunch of bookmarks work, then great, don’t ever talk to him/her again. (we are just kididng, did you get that? LOL…) There, you got it straight from the man who controls the black market on the net.

Yes, we know we are evil and we hacked Digg, StumbleUpon, you name it. Everything can be hacked although we didn’t hack this one, we just let you save some time for pointless clicking. (and yes, it’s shameless promotion again!)

New theme for MediaWiki and SiteHoppin’ called the iTunes Theme for MediaWiki v.0.1 by Max!

Okay, details here on the drunken blog.

Remember I did a review of Blogrush and Entrecard right before Entrecard started taking off?

Well, here’s why BlogRush will die and SiteHoppin will exponentially grow! (Sorry John, we are just using your site as comparison, no pun intended)

1. SiteHoppin is like a dog. Well, here’s how I got that analogy. I don’t own a dog but I do love dogs and my parents have dogs. During the last few days I was taking care of Za, my girlfriend’s brother’s dog, I have come to realize that SiteHoppin is like a dog who takes a leak here and there so other dogs can find it and mark their territory.

What the heck does that have to do with exponentially growing? Well, dogs like to mark their territories everywhere they go. They will only “mark” their spots in certain location they sense the “smell”. I don’t know how they do it. But it’s how dogs interact or communicate with each other. Basically, every time you take a leak, you are leaving a trace for the other dogs.

Well, SiteHoppin is no different. Every time you visit a site on SiteHoppin, you are marking your territory on someone’s site. Those site owners find out through site stats and get to know SiteHoppin and start using it to promote their sites. You can see some of the stats here to see what I mean here on the new SiteHoppin blog.

So, what the heck is the point of the story? Nothing. We are thanking everyone who has signed up for SiteHoppin’ and we promise the first-comers will get massive traffic in return.

As you can see in the above graph, we should be able to eclipse BlogRush very soon if our traffic keeps rising. In just 7 days since our public beta launch, we have gained at least 50% as much as traffic as Blogrush. (not that that’s a real accomplishment…) Join the new phenomenon, go try out SiteHoppin as it’s being developed LIVE! (It’s like watching a cooking show on TV, kinda like IronChef where you get to “see” the process)

Well, we will stop selling our new wiki technology here and start blogging more about other CES 2008 stuff.

Here’s the fun part:

Check out the pageviews of SiteHoppin vs. Zedomax.com. SiteHoppin gets almost 3 times more pageviews! I guess that’s probably from all the people that are SiteHoppin’… :p
