Mark S. is definitely on the right track. If you want to get a professional looking email address, Id recommend buying your name domain name, like or

If its common it might be difficult to get, however, be creative and you can usually find something.

@Franklin: Thanks a lot for mentioning Profy in this post. And yes, you are quite right, we really should rethink exactly how we allow people to use blog posts from other blogs as sources on their blogs and we are already discussing it here to make sure the additions to the feature will be exactly what is needed. Anyway I appreciate your kind words about Profy very much – it is great to see that people already like our platform even at this early stage.

@Ryan: I'm always happy to hear feedback from our new users so I'll appreciate you sharing your thoughts about Profy very much.

Ryan thanks for the kind words. I read your post yesterday. You make a great point about being able to edit the HTML of the original.

This is a big complaint of Profy as well. Right now they left you free blog the post and you can change whatever you want. This is not good and will lead to content theft.

But in David's interview over at the KnightKnetwork he questioned the Profy VP and they indicated that they intended to fix the problem. She indicated they would delineate the source more clearly.

It seems like Disqus doesn't let you edit comments.

The url is the correct link, but I'll try it again

Google Reader allows me to (surreptitiously) alter the text of any article.

I ran into all of the same problems/complaints as you.

However, I also noticed a new feature that can be easily abused. When you add a note to a post and share it, you are given the option to edit the html markup of the original post. When it shows up in your shared items, it gives your friends no indication of what you changed. Read about it in more detail in my post http://duffsdevice.blogspot.com/2008/05/google-...> Google Reader allows me to (surreptitiously) alter the text of any article.

Now I'll have to go check out Profy. keep up the good work writing here.

P.S. I like the giant RSS button, I was thinking about putting one on my site too.
