Wordpress Banned by Google for Spamming

As a wordpress user I thought this had to be reported: “Wordpress, an incredibly popular Open Source Blogging system was found to be spamming google by inserting hidden links to junk content on high paying Adsense keywords such as mesothelioma and debt consolidation. Following Threadwatch picking up the story an anonymous Google rep appeared in the original thread admonishing bloggers not to use sneaky tactics to rank highly for “duplicate content” such as the 100,000 hidden articles on the Wordpress site. The articles have now dissapeared from Google and it remains to be seen...

MiniMo

Well this certainly interested me!! Minimo – Aka Mini Mozilla, Firefox for Handheld Devices! Finally a decent, open source browser, to replace the rubbish that is currently availiable for these devices. It has not yet been released but it seems to be coming on: edit – I have actually tested the Browser, although it doesn’t work very well as of yet, I can certainly see its going somewhere!   MiniMo project can be found here.
