Loomia.com Podcast RSS feeds

Update: Loomia not Hijacking Feeds!

It appears that the Loomia site was not hijacking feeds, what was happening was their crawler was finding other sites that had hijacked podcast feeds and indexed them.

Which makes me even more mad, not a Loomia but at these other sites. This goes to show you what can happen when a rss portal launches then runs out of steam yet the old data that they have parsed is still available on the net with old information.

This should give all of us pause to make sure that as new portals are rolling out that they do not roll their own rss feed with our content in it unless they are combining feeds etc. Loomia was obviously trying to kick start their listings and ended up with someone elses trash. [Loomia.com]

    The RSS on our podcast “Its all Geek to Us” points to our default feed, not something fabricated by loomia like yours. You should mention something… because you do have the Some Rights Reserved logo.
