Bloggers – Is Myspace Stealing Your Content?
ByAlthough this blog is all about ADD and ADHD, as a blogger, there are issues and trends that I occasionally feel that I need to report on. If you are a blogger – this post is important to you.
Podcast and new media expert Paul Colligan recently had his content stolen and posted on Myspace news. This story was detailed on Techcrunch.
How can Myspace justify taking other people’s content?
And how can Google justify indexing Myspace’s plagiarism in their search results?
I find this to be a disturbing trend… That two of the web’s biggest sites would be collaborating to take your (or my) blog content. That just doesn’t seem right.
What do you think?

What is your experience?
Does white noise, or music help you to pay attention?

Mostly I prefer silence. My husband has always slept with a white noise machine (he says he doesn’t have ADHD but he does — take my word for it). I do have diagnosed and treated ADHD and that machine is called a noise machine for one reason: It Makes Noise. I detest it. I have always slept well, and I do want to hear the night sounds if I’m awake enough.
On to my daughter. In second grade, before formal diagnosis (I knew it, no one else did), she would sit at the kitchen table, a book on tape (with a plot) behind her on the countertop, and do her spelling homework which included the writing of sentences using the word. She could do all 15 of them, and very competently and originally, AND know the story to which she had been listening.
I understood this, but was – and still am – thunderstruck by the fact of that “noise” being not repetitive or “white,” but a whole other brain activity she did simultaneously.
She is in fact a linguistic — I don’t know what to call it, but “prodigy” no longer fits as she is 15 — talent. But nonetheless, that’s amazing.
