Hacker News Reader

All you need is a URL and an email address? So, I can automatically import any tumblr blog, even if I don't own it? That's a bit scary.

That is actually how the Tumblr API works. You don't even need the email address.

Interesting. Throw /api/read at the end of a tumblr blog and you're set. Interesting approach, I guess.

You must be terrified by copy/paste.

I think this is quite a bit different than copy/paste, but appreciate the humor in your comment.

But, what's http://marco.org going to say when there are 20 clones of his blog all being indexed by google? It's sort of a kick in the teeth I'd say.

EDIT: I didn't realize tumblr made it so friggin easy to copy an entire blog. My bad.
