Today I was working on setting up something similar to planet.worldofsl.com but for Fashion blogs (as I didn't want to leave anybody out as for the non-fashion planet people seem to be on there). It wasn't really finished yet but apparently fashionistas are fast and found it out and blogged it already .-)

So as I've heard that some people are uneasy with it I thought I give a little clarification what it's all about. So let me explain the history and intention behind it.

Over at http://planet.worldofsl.com I am aggregating lots of SL blogs but so far not fashion blogs (some mixed ones maybe). The intention of this is to give people a quick overview what is going on in the SL blogging world.

And as I didn't want to leave fashion blogs out I created a separate planet for them (some people also were asking for fashion related blogs). So what it gives the viewer is a quick overview about what's happening and in this case also what new products have been released etc.
It is not meant to steal anybody's content (I understand that because of the recent texture theft discussion people might now be a little more suspicious about things). So every post has the name of the author and blog, a backlink to the original post URL and to the actual site it was aggregated from. Additionally there's a list of all the aggregated blogs in the sidebar. So all in all it should give more exposure to you.
You might see this page even as some free ad space if you want so (I at least learned a bit about the scene by just collecting these together). It's also nothing else than people are able to do with their newreaders just like prepopulated.

Of course if you don't like it you can tell me and I will remove your blog (or add yours when I should have missed one).

So I just wanted to make clear that the intention is not to steal any content but to give some service to the community.

So I will go to bed soon and will check tomorrow what you have to say :-)

(and I hope it's the right forum for this)

Oh noes, it's opt-out instead of opt-in! :p :D

Great idea! I've only skimmed the general worldofsl.com page and already gathered a lot of interesting blogs I'd never heard of before, and I hope it'll be the same with the fashion aggregator :D

If people interpret this is content being stolen, then why on earth are they publishing their blog content as an RSS feed in the first place??? *sigh*

I think the worldofsl.com aggregators are extremely useful, and am very happy to have my blog included. Great work Tao!
