Hmmm. If I were a "scrapper" I'd just go here and automated ripping your content. Or used fivefilters.org. So you really just making it harder for your readers.

As for LL – it saves links, yes, like RiL and Instapaper. I just despise the whole "use an app for one little-tiny thing" concept, that is a problem with iPhone because there's no stock multasking. Backgrounder rocks.

Hmmm – mentioning Safari on iPhone seems irrelevant here as this app offers the ability to copy things quickly from desktop to iPhone. I glanced at Laterloop and it appears to be similar to Instapaper or Read It Later, saving whole web pages for reading later – not at all the same as is being done by Pastefire – so again …

As for our RSS feed, we do not offer a full feed because we have far too many issues with 'scraper' sites ripping off our content via the feed.

This is just idiotic. Why in hell would anyone use a separate application, when there's a very simple and efficient way to do the same thing without leaving Safari (on iPhone) or your browser on desktop? It's called Laterloop and there's a bookmarklet for that. And Firefox extension.

Also, I hate this blog because you just can't provide full entry via RSS. Why?
