During the past several days, there has been a significant amount of discussion on numerous weblogs, podcasts, and in the main stream media about the so-called threat of "RSS hijacking" or "podjacking." Some people have wrongly blamed Podkeyword of surreptitiously creating false RSS feeds and then somehow attempting to hold the feeds for "ransom".
Podkeyword strongly denies that it has engaged in any illegal or unethical conduct -- it is by no means a "hijacker," nor is it an "extortionist." Quite to the contrary, Podkeyword provides a simple and helpful means by which potential listeners can locate podcasts that interest them. Although Podkeyword is deeply disappointed by the widespread allegations that it has acted in a dishonest manner, it recognizes that misunderstandings about how new technologies may be implemented can occur. Podkeyword is confident that once users fully understand how its services may be used, they will see how far removed this whole situation is from "hijacking".
With the recent controversy, Podkeyword is in the process of updating the format of its interface, making it more user-friendly and understandable. For more information and background on Podkeyword's position, please read the recent article on eWeek's website addressing the issue. You may, of course, contact Podkeyword with any particular questions you have.
