Breaking news: I’m in negotiations to become the pimp agent of Loren, my new Site Security Guard(TM). Here’s a message from Loren on his first day on the job (I’m glad to see he’s back in uniform):

So why I am I interested in becoming Loren’s agent? I’m noticing a growing need for virtual Site Security around the blogosphere. Just a few examples:

  • Sadly, I’ve noticed that some of the worst offender are bloggers themselves. Case in point, the clown guy with the Gold blog who keeps spamming my comments with messages about his own *great* calls on gold. Dude, go away! Feel free to break your arm patting yourself on the back on your own blog.
  • Herb Greenberg just posted this today — “But then I get the conspiracy theorists and others who believe it is their God-given right to come into my home and vomit on my carpet, which is the equivalent of what they’re doing with the tone of some of their comments.”
  • Bill Cara clearly needs some Site Security. Things got so bad over there that he had to shut down comments on most of his posts — and before that you had to register to leave a comment. registering is usually enough of a deterrent…
  • This is where I see the real growth market — fighting the MFs who are stealing bloggers’ content for their own spam blogs (splogs)

Just a few examples of the growth market for Site Security.
