Scoble spots a growing spam issue:

Want an example of spam? Here, I want to search the blogs for what real people are saying about camcorders. So, I go to Feedster.com and search on the word "camcorder."
Every single link is spam. Every single one! Not a single "real person" talking about camcorders on their blogs.

Feedster in particular seems to be a problem. And btw Scoble - your outfit is guilty too. I have feeds searching for product mentions and my name, and they regularly turn up Microsoft and Sun ads. For instance, I keep getting this blasted ad from MS. Believe me, when I'm searching for references to "VisualWorks", I don't want to see crap from the Microsoft New Architecture Resource Center.
