Comments on: Attack of the Copycat http://finotto.org/2007/04/02/attack-of-the-copycat/ I don't know if the word Freeminding exists. Anyway it's what I'll do: just let my mind be free...

My humble opinion is that when you link to an already popular story, you should add something to it, otherwise is useless. Isn't it? *@ Chris:* it makes sense, and in the end, if you're balancing links with original content I don't see it as a big problem.

@ Chris: it makes sense, and in the end, if you’re balancing links with original content I don’t see it as a big problem.

And then again, everyone makes what he/she wants out of his/her blog… :)

So I have it anywhere I go. I don't like those other web 2.0 apps for bookmarking so I use my own blog.

The problem is that in a wide enough blogosphere, the original ideas get old extremely soon. I’m afraid I still do the herd-following thing, but I do hope I will come out of it sooner or later ;)

I've noticed about this too awhile ago, and realized that I was blogging in the same fashion. If you look through the first two years of blogging on Wooden Fish, you would agree that there were many posts like that. However, now I think I have improved a lot. I am keeping the posts personal and original, and most importantly blogging for myself. In a way, I am enjoying blogging more than before. Same here!
