Travel day 
| | Off on another whirlwind 1.5 day trip. See ya later. |
Blogjacking?
| | One of the things I hated about AOL was that once an identity got used, it could never get used again, kinda like a used kleenex. Having used searls, dsearls, docsearls and a variety of other AOL IDs in many years past, I found that I couldn't get them back when I wanted them (say, for an AIM ID). Not in an way I could figure out, anyhow. The last ID I used there was "zdilmidgi." I'm sure that's toast now, too. |
| | Anyway, it seems the Volokh Conspiracy has fallen victim to a different condition in the Blogger/Blogspot space. For a long time the Conspiracy operated out of volokh.blogspot.com. I don't know if the conspiritors bothered to put a redirect on there or anything. Probably not. I guess all the old stuff is 404'd now. (I could check, but don't have time.) In any case, what's on there now isn't Volokh. Anthony Rickey says The Conspiracy used to blog at Blogspot, and this guy's taken the place over in order to get a free PR6, very useful if you're into Search Engine Optimization. |
| | What I'm wondering is, what's the deal with neglected Blogspot blogs? Can you request an abandoned one like volokh.blogspot and do some kind of hijack thing? What would you call that? |
| | It might be a good idea for the blog hosting companies to say what their policies are on this kind of stuff. I have no idea. |
