Copycats
Ughhh. I hate em. People that cannot come up with their own ideas and then just blantantly copy mine.
In the last week I’ve found 2 new “hot sauce blogs” all run by competitors.
The worst are those who copy the images that I take for Sweat ‘N Spice – That’s why I had to put copyrights on each image and they still get copied! It takes more effort to copy a picture and try to cover it up then it does to take your own picture.
I put up a forum, they put up forums. I put up recipes, suddenly they have recipes up. I put up a blog, and sure enough, they’re putting up blogs.
Get real and get your own ideas.
My personal favorite is the company whose favicon now looks exactly like the one on Sweat ‘N Spice. Real original, especially since they already had a unique one up. What ever happened to developing your own brand? You sir, piss me off like no other. (yes, I know you read this blog, you copied it)
Ahh, blogs are perfect for venting.

im going to cuss them out
yours is the original.
ok i couldnt find them, but wherever you guys are, you suck.
you have forums???
Chris: Had forums, took them down cause I got pissed off at the duplicates.
Everyone: Thanks for the comments and emails, but I’m not going to post any urls or other info. I was pissed, but I’m not going to be petty. After venting I feel much better anyways, plus I’ve got some hot (no pun intended) and original things coming out soon!
Hi Nick,
If your gonna be the best you should expect to get copied. That’s the indicator.
