Precognitive Deja Vu?

[VegasBud]

Every once in a while, I'm amazed at the speed with which information travels on the internet. I just had one of those moments.

I literally just posted this piece here at VideoHelp in response to a question, and decided to check Google to see if there were answers to the question I hadn't thought of. One of the links that popped up sounded just like what the question was about, so I clicked on the link. Imagine my surprise when the linked site contained an excerpt from what I had just posted, with a link back to the post here at VideoHelp.

Like, wow, dude...precognitive deja vu.

yeah that's funny. I see stuff like that on "review" websites. There will be a copy of someone's review of a product, on all review websites. I think these places use robots to scan the internet for the information.

I did a test once. I posted a review of a product on a website. I stated in the review the name of the website. I told people, if you see this review on any other website, they are copying it without my permission.

Low and behold, after I posted that review on the original website, it started appearing on all other sites. They didn't even take out the original website name! LOL! I'm now doing that to all my reviews, because I'm tired of all the lowly review websites copying stuff.

Yup - just wrote a reply here, and it now appears 10 seconds later at the top of the link you provided. Obviously, this site is pulling data in from the RSS feed.
