Thanks Teli. Great article and the points you make are right-on.

Thanks for mentioning The BUZZ.
When I saw this subject I rushed over to say...
"Well isnt it alright under some circumstances to synd other blogs???
Is what I'm doing at the BUZZ OK?"
Whew!

I think once again - like with almost everything else Internet Marketing the key is:
Will this content be a benefit to your visitors??? If you are truly doing it to help your visitors, not just for traffic, then I think it's OK - IF you ask permission to pull feeds, only use snippets and link to the source.

Example - if you had a site about arthritis and added a newsfeed of headlines in the sidebar about arthritis - because it would benefit your users I think that would be OK. But a pure auto-generated blog about arthritis would just be a splog.
