Thoughts on the All Things D Voices Kerfuffle

I've been following the back and forth between "All Things D" and a
few bloggers about the way "All Things D" treats excerpts in their
"Voices" section, and I don't think their recent changes help much. It
still seems to me that Dow Jones and The Wall Street Journal are
trying for SEO and revenue on the backs of smaller bloggers.

Look at the byline. It lists the bloggers publication, but does not
link to it.

Also when you click on the headline, you stay within Voices, on a page
that only contains the excerpt from the blog. Why not take the reader
at this point to the blog?

The result is two instances for All Things D to sell ads and get SEO
from these excerpts. This is wrong.
