Odeo is Hijacking Feeds! (Not anymore
See the Update)
06/17/2005 03:50 PM

Update: Situation looks to be resolved be sure to read this response from ODEO they say it was a mistake, and I am surprised more beta testers did not call them out on this. Are people so immune these days that they will just let companies do what they please with their RSS feeds. Obviously they went to General Quarters after I posted this, but I wonder if anyone had said anything, if they would have continuesd re-packaging everyones RSS feeds the way it was. I am still confused on the purpose of those odeo.com replicated RSS feeds. If I get a invite to the Beta I will take a closer look.

The article that started resulted in the change!

I had a beta tester that got a close look at Odeo send me some information. Apparently Odeo is taking all of the Podcast it has in it's current directory and creating their own custom RSS feeds.

First of all this really wrong in a big way. Here is my normal podcasting feed. http://www.geeknewscentral.com/podcast.xml what Odeo is doing, so I am being told, is creating a custom feed http://odeo.com/channel/rss/411 that has the same content of my above referenced feed (maybe) what does this do. Well it is deception in the fact that they have Hijacked my feed without permission, and are in a sense re-directing it.

Picture 4.jpg


Odeo is going to have to learn to play nice in a hurry, if this is indicative of what they are going to be doing, their are going to be a bunch of very pissed off people.

Odeo I am happy you listed my show in your directory, but I want you to point to my original RSS feed, "the one that I own and control", and am responsible for. I don't want possible listeners to this show that find me on your site to think somehow that I am a part of your network. I also don't want you sticking in any advertising or collecting any metrics about my listeners. Plain an Simple.

Be a good citizen and point to everyones original feeds!

While there are plenty of stories these days about spammers hijacking computers around the world to send out more spam, you might not realize that this is nothing new. A story published five years ago said that, at the time, one in five corporate servers was being hijacked for spam. In other words, five years later and we haven't done much to solve the sneaky methods spammers use to send out their junk mail.

Light travels at 186,000 miles (300 million meters) per second in a vacuum but physicists in the United States and Russia are just a little bit faster, actually capturing the light photons and stopping them in their tracks. The newly-developed technique offers opportunities to improve optical communication, manage quantum data, a boon to the future of both communication and digital security.

Let's face it: every minute of every day, someone, somewhere, is patrolling the Web looking for sites to hack. ASP.NET developers must constantly be on their guard to ensure attempted hacks can't be successful. That means constraining and validating user input, accessing databases securely, storing sensitive data securely, and generally writing secure code that repels rather than accommodates these malevolent hackers.

A lot of malware has been going around lately, some of it preventing you from visiting the actual Google website, or putting up a notice when you try to visit. The most common reason for this is spyware or malware -- software that's included with other programs and stows away in your computer watching what you're doing, popping up ads, and doing other bad things. To get rid of it, you can install LavaSoft's Ad-Aware or Spybot Search and Destroy. Both are free but neither me nor Google are recommending either....

(I'm also glad that idea of calling it "surfing" seems to have become less popular.)
