Basically, it lets you do site wide text replaces through all your posts. I used it to auto link common terms like WordPress so even when I'm lazy and forget to link it, my site automatically inserts the hyperlink.

For example, on my site www.greggodden.com, I run the SimplePie plugin to pull posts from my - not as of yet setup blog - www.misfitofmedia.com, and that information is displayed in a block at the bottom of the page. Essentially the plan is to use it to promote my blog through my personal site by displaying the most recent posts, a brief description of each post and a direct link to the post itself as well as the general blog. What I'm using the plugin for is relatively simple and non-offensive, but it could be used in a very negative manner as well. The plugin gives people the ability to create a blog and have all of its content generated by pulling content from other blogs/sites RSS feeds. I believe this kind of thing is actually a pretty common spammer/squatter/google ads abusing practice.

On the Wordcamp schedule, he's scheduled to speak exclusively about Wordpress plugins on Sunday. Will there be much overlap? Joe, have you talked to Brendan Sera-Shriar?
