  The above url posts excerpts from blogs about book reviews and I’m trying to decide if it’s a spam thing or legit. I first found it when the site linked to one of my posts and the comment was tagged as spam by Akismet. Opinions?

  It’s a slog. I spammed the one I got.

  Actually I think thistimethisspace meant splog. Wiki has a good description.

  I suppose that’s a legit site… in my non-expert eyes.
  All this chap does is just post what he wanted, isn’t it that way?
  It’s kind of telling readers what books are worth reading, or how a book is worth reading.

  (Scope is a virtual IT-clueless, he’s still learning by involving.)
