It Has Finally Happened: Triond Lost The Plot

The writing has been on the wall for a long time. We knew that the editors were unable to read English, or more probably that they are unable to read period. Bu now they have lost their marbles, too. If it hadn’t cost me valuable time, the whole incident would have amused me no end.

Comparison of Triond, Expertscolumn, Xomba, Shvoong, and Bukisa Online Publishing

Currently, I am using (on and off) five online publishing sites to place my articles. All of them have their advantages and disadvantages. But using them all has some definite advantages for you, the writer of online content and articles.
Each of the five online publishers Triond, Expertscolumn, Xomba, Shvoong, and Bukisa has its own pitfalls and earning possibilities. Some of them are better than others in certain respects. But using them all gives you certain advantages in republishing your articles and using them as relevant outside links again in your future writing.

Solved: Triond’s Logic in Placing Articles

I finally cracked the logic behind Triond editors’ logic in placing articles on the different sites. In fact, the solution was so easy; I should have arrived at it two years back, if not earlier.
We all constantly wonder where our articles got to. I am not talking about the multitude of articles that Triond just tends to lose and never find again. I am talking of the odd places articles disappear to on the different sites Triond runs, that is, before they lose them completely in internet limbo with which they are obviously unable to cope.

Triond Has a Major Flag Failure

When Triond announced the installation of a flag button on all its pages, it was already clear that there would be trouble. Here is my story and what went wrong thanks to the flag (and several other reasons).
It has been clear for some time that something was going wrong at Triond. I personally don’t know if any of the editors is able to read; I do know that they are unable to read English. Most of my articles have been published in astonishing places, usually with no connection to the articles’ contents. I have grown used to that.

Unresolved: Why Triond Needs to Step Up its Editorial Work

Since my initial article, nothing much has changed on Triond. Articles are still published in plagiarised versions. And I found a second interesting group of articles: Double publications by the same author. Begs the question: What is going on here? (Or rather, why is nothing being done?)
Following my article Why Triond Needs to Step Up its Editorial Work I expected Triond to react a bit more robustly than by issuing a statement that they have closed down the account of the offender. In fact, they were in so much haste to do that they missed out on one article included in my first publication.

Why Triond Needs to Step Up its Editorial Work

Am I the first to notice? Or did it just sort of slip below the radar? Plagiarism of other writers is bad form at the least. While it may happen on one site that another’s work is brazenly copied without the editors noticing it, it should be evident if the publication is on the same site.
I am quite used to finding one or another article of mine having been copied by a writer on another site. I am quite flattered by that, as it proves my writing is better than anything they have on that site, but I surely take steps.

Why Every Triond User Should Have an Expertscolumn Account, Too

A Triond friend of mine recently advised me to open an account with Expertscolumn to republish my articles. While I do that sporadically, I found a reason as to why every Triond (and any other writer for all that) user should have an account there, even if they do not intend to publish there.
Expertscolumn is a publishing site based in India. While it offers you the possibility to submit articles, the choice of possible subjects is quite limited as opposed to the freedom we enjoy on Triond. But unlike Triond, they do not insist on original material and allow you to republish articles you have published on other sites. Al they ask is that you use the same user name as on the original publishing site.

Is It Worthwhile to Write News Items for Triond?

After reading the comments on my news article on Roman Polanski, I asked myself if it is worthwhile writing news items for Triond at all. As I knew the reaction of ‘that is old news’ from myself reading other writers’ news articles, I found it necessary to raise the question for all to consider. More
