I'm curious if there's actually stats on blogspot blogs being unreliable or spammy? How does it compare to wordpress blogs, etc? Because unless there's data to back this up, I find this an unreasonable prejudice. I do find some quality blogs out there running on blogspot time to time.



It's not about Blogspot. Come on, the adress is ac31004.blogspot.com for crying out loud and there is very little content actually on the site. Those properties ought to set off some flags in the seasoned web user's brain. In this case, these flags were false positives, and I acknowledged as much in my comments.


The blogspot account has been active since July of 2010 (last year), and has over 26 different postings (an average of more than 2 per month). Most of the articles are about a technology HNers are interested in such as Apache Cassandra.

From this particularly cursory perusal I do not think that it raises any flags.

I do not, as a matter of order, hold a blogs name against it.


I'm the author of the blogspot, For the record, ac31004 is a module in internet programming I teach at the University of Dundee. Hence the odd name.
