If you're uncomfortable with mashups don't waste your time on them. However, others appear to find them of interest, depending on the content. Have you ever forwarded an article you liked or a YouTube to a friend that you think might find it interesting or helpful? I think we all will enjoy HubPages more if we try to be friends rather than dissing or flagging (fragging might be a more appropriate term) each others Hubs.
Yes I have, but I think there are plenty of other places on the net which exist for that purpose. I don't think it really belongs on HubPages, which we're told wants "ORIGINAL, useful content". I know you see it differently, and we have to agree to disagree on that score.
I certainly don't know much about this site; I'm new and technologically challenged. But I do agree that this is supposed to be all original content to the best of my understanding.
I know I'll regret adding here but I'm getting a little frustrated...I've read this thread this afternoon and reread it again just now...It is my opinion and I am possitive it should be the same for everyone concerned...If you didn't come up with it, if its not your idea.................... its not yours. SIMPLE as that...I think it should be rule #1 for a writer anywhere, as here on hubpages also, original writing only...with following that rule this thread should be done over and finished...flinging c**p is getting nobody anywhere fast, it just makes for a very messy and slippery road...
I wish I knew how to put that "flogging a dead horse" thingy here.

LOL, Jenny! I couldn't believe when I saw this come up from 7 months ago! How many pages back must this have been buried?
It refers to the fact that someone came and brought a very old thread back to life.
Jenny - does this qualify as irony, based on the resurrector? LOL
I am giving it a 96% irony factor
That is "quite high" before any one asks me to explain.

I was on another thread and someone said many people sign up on HubPages, but very few go on to write a substantial number of quality Hubs.I wonder why this is and what HubPages can do to encourage people to stay on and improve their Hubs, which seems to be what they want.All my Hubs were recently...

After reading every post, every article, etc... on the subject matter I thought I'd start a post with arguments against Amazon being the source of the free fall in traffic that many of us experienced last week as I don't believe it is the problem. (I can't say 100% for sure).1.) Many hubbers which...

I found out this morning that this site had stolen at least 2 of my hubs. The more I looked, the more I noticed that it appears every single post on the site is a stolen hub, completely copied in most cases (including the authors' names and copyright notes, ironically). I see lots of names of...

Hello. This was my first hub and based on a very personal experience. I dont understand how it can be edited in any way, it does'nt have any researched facts or stats, its just a feeling. How do I tell them that its nothing duplicate....

Yes, I understand, the algorithm could settle. I'm not holding my breath though. What can Hubpages do to appease Google?I can see nothing less than:- Taking out the bottom 40% of articles in terms of quality.- Pre-approving each and every article like InfoBarrel. - Removing ALL duplicate content. -...
