Yeah that’s right, everything this week has been going exactly as planned. sigh

Adam, my earlier post - before I said anything else - mentioned your loss.

And, so far, I’ve been the only one who has mentioned this element.

Please read that one too.

While I am sorry for your loss truly I am I have been there before (not with a mother but other family members as I am sure we all have) What you originally did was wrong, you know it was intentional, and you know it, While your you have had a loss this week it still does not excuse what was done. Now you want to make it look like it was an honest mistake.

Sorry to double post, But meant to add this in my original post. Of course it does not look like this week has gone good for curry but it still does not excuse what was done

Ok, if that is in fact Adam posting the reply, then that’s really sad that you would use the death of your own mother as an excuse for what’s going on with the podshow feed BS. Mostly cause I highly doubt you had anything to do with the actual programming of that lovely add-in. If it’s not Adam posting, then shut the hell up you wanna be idiot. Now, as for the article, post or whatever it is, yeah, it’s possible that’s exactly what happened, and they did it on purpose, it would be stupid, but possible. Of course I doubt it was unintentional, how do you type that much code accidentally? But someone somewhere had to know that feed jacking would turn off a lot of podcasters. Granted none of the oh I wanna kiss podshow’s ass casters will falter, but a lot of the casters that dont worship the mic the Currinator spits on, will no doubt shy away for the time being and wait to see if podshow is even worth it now. I don’t know what to think f it personally. I almost joined, but after I read the terms I decided to hold off for a bit and wait for the dust to settle a bit.

That was in fact Adam posting the reply.

[…] I took a look at the new Podshow.com directory this morning after reading through a bunch of blog posts(here, here and here for example) about their “hijacking” of podcast feeds. That problem has apparently been fixed, with the usual controversy that surround most Podshow things - (maybe it’s part of the Podshow promotion standard operating procedures for generating links to the site) With that mess out of the way - I a look at the site, which also seems to be a bit of a mess. I found the pages way too complicated and confusing. There is too much going on for me to know what to do next.  Every page I go to seems to be overloaded with information and links. […]

[…] In case you haven’t heard, MTV VJ Adam Curry founded a company called Podshow, a company that among other things, runs a much-hyped podcasting directory. It created a lot of buzz when it received venture funding earlier this year. Podshow got off to a rocky start when rumors began to circulate on the Internet about the company’s practice of “hijacking feeds.” This means that Podshow was changing the feeds of podcasters in such a way that the original content was modified without the podcaster’s permission.
