i found those links quite interesting. i dont think its fair to belittle what these people are doing. at the end of the day they have found a way to make a living - out of google, blogs, technorati ...albeit indirectly. if they are somehow exploiting flaws in the current fabric of search engines, and online communities....so be it....
i find it innovative that a guy from surat with a poor command of english is able to identify an opportunity and make the best of it. Its a bit hypocritical to mock people like jayesh when in some circles it is considered cool and intellectual when a person comes up with a hack / exploit on microsoft windows, i dont see why people like jayesh cannot be considered on the same lines....
