So, I’m checking out Plasticbag, as I have done for the last couple of years and which is run by Tom who is a friend of my relatively new flatmates, and he’s writing about how he’s noticed in his referrals that someone has mirrored his site over on LiveJournal and he’s wondering who’s responsible. Of course, his post is mirrored on the LJ site and the person responsible gets in touch finds out that he’s onto him and gets in touch. Turns out there’s an LJ called Syndication Promotion about playing about with RSS feeds and they’d used his feed to make the mirror site, just as an experiment. With me so far? If you’re not, don’t worry.
The point is, the person who made the mirror site is Jo who is involved in running the Caption small press comics convention in Oxford which I’ve been going to for years. Normally when these circular things happen you can explain it through friendships, etc. This one is completely random.
It’s blogspirals again.
I came across Jo’s site linked by someone else recently (Hydragenic, perhaps?) — knew I’d seen her in a different context, but couldn’t remember where!
