  I joined Zimbio after having seen its name here in a (possibly dubious) post on the forum (just a few hours ago).
  Click click, and suddenly my entire blog is mirrored there.
  So I have gone back to try and change my account to show summarised feeds only but alas it seems necessary to email them, which I have done.
  It seems that search engines don’t like mirrored sites. Also after googling it seems technorati is similar. I just wonder if there are comments,views or opinions about zimbio?
  Will I actually lose hits from being there?

  Zimbio is an aggregator, not really mirroring sites. I use it cuz I have specific themes which I discuss. And people with similar interests will post their entries to create something similar to a magazine; called a wikizine.

  You have made it sound wholesome and a good idea.
  Thanx

  It can be fun and is a good way to social network with people who truly share the same interesta as you; rather than more generalized social sites.
