  This morning I found Vooba as an incoming referrer to my blog. However they seem to be mirroring my blog at their URL http://www. vooba .com/entry/8619/when-bad-milk-drives-out-good-milk/ My blog is at http://givingupcontrol.wordpress.com/

  Does anyone know what Vooba does and if it is a concern? Thanks

  Added modlook to break those links.

  Vooba looks like a service like digg or stumbleupon. They just use an iframe to show your post instead of a description and a link. Ditto on humsurfer. They’re not copying your content on their own page. They’re just using a bar aloing to top so that folks can vote on your posts. Still getting credit as in page views since your blog is loading.
