Interesting topic/blog to watch. Added to my reader.
BTW, may be you want to hyperlink “For background, refer to first post”. Going forward it would be inconvenience for readers to navigate back to the “first post”.
Thanks…good observation…fixed.
Interesting blog you have here. Speaking of reputation, have you heard of WOT? It’s a new reputation system for websites, which is currently available as a Firefox extension.
Don’t forget Opinity and Trufina as well. I’ve worked with them both and it’s exciting to see the business models that are emerging.

@ Alex
Thanks for the post. FYI I came here via del.icio.us.
@Jitendra
Technorati doesn’t do a lot about content scrapers. I see you are on the WordPress platform and possibly can use this WP plug in:
http://redalt.com/Resources/Plugins/AntiLeech that i recently installed after I saw a couple of scrapers use my contents.

Hi Jitendra,
I have few thought abt the web security and authentication systems. I did a small research abt phishing, man in the middle attacks (MITM) and password hacking, so wanted to share my research on web that too at sensible place where people understand the stuff. May i have my posts posted here, in other words can we discuss about my research here, as I feel it is a good topic and most required in todays market.
Regards,
Sebastian
