FeedPass = 2 mistakes

Two mistakes brings a lot of discussion about the new service Feedpass.com.

Why they are wrong:
- They make commercial use of content without any prior authorization of the original publisher.
- They have a wrong design in which anybody can claim a content and get the benefit (money) of it.

May be they should have done something like I do with FeedShow in the Revenue Sharing Program:
- No ads if the original publisher does not explicitly agree,
- Use the RemoteAds RSS extension to get the Adsense codes of the publisher.

FeedPass.com will surely be modified to address these issues…
