Updates

Well, it looks like our twitter bot is getting rather popular, but we still need more likes on facebook. I was hoping to get some feedback from all the new users. Can you suggest any more great atheist blogs etc? Any constructive criticisms? Please don't suggest your own blog and if you see someone else has suggested a blog you like, please suggest it again as I will only include those which have been repeatedly voted for this way.

At the moment we are including feeds from the following blogs and blogrolls:

http://atheistfeed.blogspot.com/ This site, obviously

Freethought Blogs killed the Atheist Feed on tumblr.

Well it looks like Freethought Blogs managed to to censor The Atheist Feed on tumblr. The entire site has been removed, but not by me. You can still follow the Atheist Feed on Twitter and on Facebook and I will continue to look for new ways to read it. Here is a graph showing all the traffic that the Atheist Feed sent to Freethought Blogs over the last month. As you can see, it really started picking up in the last week or so:

Also set up a Twitter bot @freethoughtfeed, it will go dead in protest. You can still follow all the latest posts @AtheistFeedz, but I no longer wish to support Freethought Blogs' branding or logo. Perhaps they should try setting up their own Twitter bot.

Copyright violation

Just received this email. Must say I am disappointed :( Especially now, just following the recent SOPA blackout:

I am assuming that you are the same person who runs both
http://atheistfeed.blogspot.com/ and http://atheistfeed.tumblr.com/. The
latter is aggregating -- that is, stealing -- all of the content from
Freethought Blogs, a network that I own. You do not have permission to
copy the content from freethoughtblogs.com and I want all posts copied
from our network removed immediately and any use of our copyrighted
material to stop. If this is not done within 72 hours, I will be
referring the matter to my attorney. Please see this:
