What is Digg?76 Comments
- bs3arch, on 10/10/2007, -3/+94"Microsoft's MSN search engine can find passwords that have been improperly posted on other websites"
What an idiotic statement by Perfect 10! The job of a search bot is to find & index information posted on web sites.
If people are publicly posting passwords or other information on the web, then yes, the MSNbot will find it. That's what it does. It's finds information.
This does not mean that Microsoft is 'stealing' passwords, it's only reading and indexing publicly posted material. - chris9902, on 10/10/2007, -0/+41It can find text on a webpage? Bad search engine. How dare you do what you were designed to do.
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -7/+42You must be new here. The top priority is to imply Microsoft is doing something evil. It doesn't matter if there's little exaggerations or outright lies as long as you can send some hate in MS's direction, virtually guaranteeing sufficient diggs to reach the front page.
- Anrkist, on 10/10/2007, -2/+35Robots.txt ?
- theheights, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20I will sue Perfect10 for false advertising. Half the women are clearly 9's.
- Monolith4, on 10/10/2007, -0/+19Didnt perfect 10 already sue Google for this same thing? And get their lawsuit thrown out...?
- TomMcBaum, on 10/10/2007, -3/+18Congrats. Most idiotic story summary ever.
- aazn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+15Apparently Google is stealing website passwords. And so is Yahoo. And every other ***** search engine. It isn't "stealing" when it's public property.
It's as much stealing as drinking a soda can is drowning yourself. - elvenseven, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Just another company looking for free publicity.
- PatrickA, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10They sure like legal battles: http://www.perfect10.com/news.html
- crackah, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Hello? Im seeing right through this... Free publicity +10000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I never heard of Perfect 10 until now, when i visited their site.
I would love to see their hits.... - SteelChicken, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8blogspam
- rohan2kool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7and now.. intellectual property theft is soooo wrong when microsoft does it.. but it's pretty cool when the pirat byran screams about free speech.
go ahead.. bury me. - mikesbaker, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Thats not how napster worked at all.
- crapmatic, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Buried as blogspam.
- fiorenza, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8Buried as inaccurate.
- gregdigg, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Apparently, search engines love looking for porn.
- silenceHR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4agreed .... totally lame
- rivalius13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So where are these passwords anyway?
- fishbert, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Perfect 10 sued Google for showing thumbnails of their images in Google Image Search (if I remember correctly).
It looks like they're just fishing for lawsuit money. - ryan899, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5I don't think its spelled "hits"
- cryptonight, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Why doesn't Perfect 10 hire someone that has heard of robots.txt. I guess they'd rather just sue everyone one by one. I hope they lose a lot of money on all of this.
- joe90210, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3they already tried suing Google for this, they lost or it got thrown out
- subtle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Eddy1 is a perfectionist -- except when it comes to grammatical number -- and enjoys short walks between his bed and his computer. Come and get him girls (those with sharp appendages need not apply).
- NerdyNinja, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yeah but clearly their ploy for free publicity didn't work, as we haven't seen it on Digg before as far as I know. Mission accomplished.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2So choose better passwords, use better protection. This is like running all the motor oil out of your car and then getting pissed off at GM when your engine seizes.
- subtle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Drinking a soda can might not drown you, but it sure would hurt.
- altered, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I lol'd when I saw Table 1.
- badm00n, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3blog spam AND lame. I think i'll sue MSN for indexing my blog and get free publicity too.
- gmerin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2if they make their web content wholly accessible to search engine spiders by neglecting to enable the simplest controls (robots.txt, .httpaccess, etc.) and by embedding key phrases in their page content metadata explicitly designed to attract the spiders, they really have no right to complain when the spiders do what they've been asked to do. this sounds like a blatant attempt to get paid for being stupid. Perfect10 deserves the same fate as SCO.
- omarciddo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Digg fairies huh...
- that1jewishguy, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Maybe they should sue the dumbass webmaster who can't seem to protect their own images from a spider-bot... or better yet sue Al Gore "the inventor of the internet" if he hadn't made the internet they wouldn't be having that this fiasco!
- gclef, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3who doesn't?
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Let's try again...Maybe you should find a keyboard that doesn't arbitrarily use caps lock.
- habbofresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1+10000000000000000000000000000000000000000!?!?
that's over 9000, man. - Atomic1fire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Mr. Penguin invented the interwebs?
- Lennalf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1If anybody else think Perfect10 is full of *****, be sure to give them a friendly visit with AccessDiver today.
- mpancha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Didn't the same thing happen with Google a long time ago?
- subtle, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So nearly a flawless victory. Oh well.
- adosoftinc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's all about getting free media attention. They know they are going to loose, they also know that people who have never heard of them will check out their site and actually get to know about them.
- Lennalf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's not a problem with their website security. Dedicated crackers discover weak logins, and then post that information on community websites that exist for the sole purpose of sharing cracked passwords. Those forums, in turn, are spidered by search engines (sometimes, not always). This is referenced in the original article.
- weizbox, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1check out when the peaks took place(not '04) ;)
http://www.google.com/trends?q=perfect+10
I'm sure they will have one for around now once trends gets updated. - CLShortFuse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Maybe should sue Google for this: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22http://*:*%40www.perfect10.com/perfectten%22&hl=en
- merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Uh, no, Perfect10 lost the google suit.
http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/Perfect10_v_Google/ - n1pz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It appears perfect10s lawyer's are more active than the skills of there web site staff.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1diggs reply system sucks
- antdude, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Not me. :)
- merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Pretty sure the issue isn't with images and passwords actually hosted on their own site. They're complaining about the fact that MSN is indexing sites that post stolen images/passwords. Of course, MSN has more money than the little sites that are actually hosting the stolen content...
- ktorbeck, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1This just "Perfect 10" trying to get some attention, and guess what we all helped.
- merreborn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?url=perfect10.com
HUGE spike in traffic this month. Go figure. -
