TG Daily – TG Video: Electric motorcycle inventor crashes at Wired NextFest (2)

* Busby: Did someone already said that your blog is cool and very interesting to read?You are intelligent in writing this good article about motorcycle!

What a warm comment to post to RTFA, Busby! Thanks for the genuine… WAIT. Did you just say, “You are intelligent in writing this good article about motorcycle!”

I know what’s going on here: the worst kind of spam! This is just the Busby SEO Test, isn’t it?

Indeed, RTFA is getting comment spam about the Busby SEO Test – this time from 124.106.146.122 (possibly a forged IP, so take this with a grain of salt). The link they want to boost is pinayspeak,com/pinaytest/

The company sponsoring this spam-fest is Busby Web Solutions:

BUSBY is proud to invite SEO specialists, guru’s, masters and hot shots to compete over a 4 month period to gain the highest position they can achieve on Google (USA Google Data Center – http://72.14.207.99)
Summary
Set up your own website and optimise it for the key phrase we announce on the start date. Prizes will be awarded to the contenstants whose site is ranked 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th on the finish date on Google (USA Google Data Center – http://72.14.207.99).

The phrase this year (no surprise here) is “Busby SEO Test.” Why must you make the Internet cry?

Youtube down, not OpenDNS
Palo Alto – Online – resolved

Youtube.com is down right now because Pakistan Telecom has decided to (accidentally probably) hijack their IP address space which means that nobody in the world can reach Youtube. This isn’t an OpenDNS issue. Just letting you all know.
This is now fixed. PCCW took far far too long to fix their broken customer (Pakistan Telecom) … Argh.

…what!? I don’t understand… I thought the .com root TLD servers were distributed around the world. I thought IP routing tables were virtually hardwired at the fiber-level to perform intelligent, disaster-circumventing routing.
