This someone has a post in his blog “The last degree” and when you scroll down to the footer of the blog you would see “2005-2008 Foniboki All rights reserved”. When wandering through this post i had a feeling, i have read this one specific article from another place. so I did a little bit of hunting and got the original article.
Then I pointed out to him that its copy of someone else’s work, in a comment, and he could put the original link . He thanked me by deleting my comment and turning on comment moderation.
so here is the fake writing
http://foniboki.blogspot.com/2007/12/last-degree.html
and the link to original writing by Jemuel Johnson
http://www.helium.com/items/582534-degree-jemuel-johnsonthe-sensitive
I was surprised why he acted so harshly towards a comment, which force me in to do some more digging.
bogus writing!

In a country where largest companies like Dhiraagu and Wataniyya copies / steal their advertising from others (without credit), blogger wannabes copying others without credit is not surprising. Mollywood film industry is another case.

looks more like a ’secret’ of an individual blogger rather than the blogosphere itself
August 3, 2008 at 11:34 am
lol … nice one!
August 3, 2008 at 12:37 pm
So he is copying everything huh?
August 3, 2008 at 3:30 pm
foniboki actually writes his name as “naked soul”
could be two blogs of his
hard to believe that he could do such a thing
August 3, 2008 at 4:27 pm
OMG…thought he was a gr8 blogger….but here is the truth??
August 3, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Very Nice! (With Borat’s accent)

August 4, 2008 at 1:10 am

@ .mini: You have a good point. mini. But to believe what you have said, some points need clarifications, perhaps from foniboki himself,
-all the posts he(if he is The Naked Soul in http://tobeme.wordpress.com) posted are earlier than than the http://www.foniboki.blogspot.com. needs an explanation for that.
-he could post at least one post in foniboki blog and appear that in Naked Soul blog. but it seems this never happened.
like you said he has many nicks like Fbi, shweetbubbles, foniboki and Naked Soul(in flickr). its irony that he hasn’t mentioned anything about his blog in wordpress(if you are right) in foniboki blog.
-one more thing, just forget about his posts, read though his comments in other blogs, do compare that with his posts. you might see some interesting patterns.
@SoE: He is most welcome to comment here.
@shweeeet: refer to reply to .mini
adios

well thats kinda good investigation u made
but your title is totally out of topic.
i thought u were writing about mvblogosphere, but it was about a blogger who blogs in mvblogosphere.
August 4, 2008 at 7:01 pm
now thats a good research street fighter

to everyone,
i don’t want any one to believe any thing. the facts lie in front of you, you make your mind yourself. the truth without being proven still remains a truth.
thank you everyone.
adios
