Blogging Is Overrated
I know, I know… I have said it at least a hundred times before, but it really is.
The latest thing to send this point home was the tremendous amount of blogs that have no original content, but instead link to someone else’s blog, who in turn links to someone else’s blog and finally, somewhere at the end of all these “click-throughs,” you wind up at the content you originally sought.
For example, the creator of WordPress loves to blog other people’s blogs. See “Google Gadget Ads.” His post is all of 2 lines long, barely long enough to basically say, “Click here to get what you actually wanted, dummy.”
Anyway, the first thing you see is the link to Niall Kennedy’s post about Google Gadgets. Where does Niall’s post finally bring us? You guessed it… Google Gadget Ads.
So what ever happened to unique content on the Web? I mean, I figured that is why I could excel at blogging, because I am so ridiculously mundane and lackluster that it HAD to be unique!
Now it sinks it again that this blog will never be popular. Why? I guess because I do not blog enough of other people’s blogs.
Then again, that is what I have done with this post so who knows? Maybe I will get a million hits from this post alone.
