Mark has a stalker bot that monitors "Dave"'s blog for changes every five minutes and list detected changes using color-coded difference report.  Called Winer Watcher, it is an interesting experiment from an engineer's point of view, but I think it is stalking and suspect the motivations behind it.

I frequently edit my recent posts for various reasons and would feel offended if someone did a Don Park Watcher.  Regardless of copyright issues, I think it is stalking, stalking to catch embarrasing mistakes and show them to the world.

While I enjoy reading Mark's blog post most of the time, I have noticed that he has a mean childish streak that calmly surfaces occasionally.  Usually, they are harmless and even understandable.  Winer Watcher, on the other hand, is truely awful, a demonstration of how technology can be used to abuse bloggers.

Mark, STOP IT!  If this is an earnest experiment, use your blog or at least ask for permissions before putting a microscope on other people's blog.  Having a blog is not an invitation for abuse.
