OutputThis - Cross-Blogging Service for content duplication

Today I just came across a newly launched project for providing free cross-blogging services called Output This!

Quote:

Many people have multiple blogs, social networking homepages and other places where they'd like to blog to. OutputThis shall allow to define all of your destinations at a single place, using a web service.

So it's meant to be a free service, although it is in beta, to speed up the process of publishing a single post to multiple sites …

The idea to cross post to automatically route the posts or reviews to other sites that you specify – e.g. your Amazon account or your Yahoo! 360 page is a nice idea… however currently only MetaWeblog API and the Blogger API are supported… not sure if Amazon or Yahoo support these…

However the idea is a nice one and I'm looking forward to see this project grow… I also believe they be able to offer a nice set of additional features in the future…

But my honest concerns are:

  • do we need a system to automatically create content-duplication?
  • do we want our sites get filtered by Google, just because the same content is posted to much stronger sites in the same second?

I say – no, really not.
