I used to blog about things people had made/done on the web.
Now most of these things are announced via a blog post – everyone has a blog.
It’s easy for me to see new things via rss and be inspired. It seems more difficult (or just less automated!) for me to find the things i used to blog about before rss was so well delivered. It’s much easier to blog something delivered to your door than to go out onto the big wide scary internet and find original content that inspires you enough to blog it – and even then, the chances are someone beat you to it.
So basically these days the chances are most bloggers are writing a blog post about a blog post. It’s a change, you deal with it, and originality becomes more and more difficult.
If there is a perspective to add to the original post, thats good and becomes part of the community of interlinked bloggers we all know. If your a big blog or blog in a different geo/specialist area giving exposure to a smaller blog it’s probably a v.good thing.
As 20jfg we were part of a digital music panel hosted by musically at the great escape festival in brighton and all of the other panellists spoke of the web media overload/saturation they experience. Just how many rss feeds can you keep track of in your netvibes? How often do you actually check your delicious for that thing you bookmarked and must look at in further detail when you have time? And how can you blog it all ?
On those days when you really just want to give a heads without much more ? You can have your blog, of blogs.
