David Risley: Bloggers + Apple = Techmeme Echo Chamber

    Wow. Most humbled to be quoted. I'm fairly sure that's a first. I'm not sure what that says about either of us ;)

    I was, of course, kidding.. Well, mostly. My own, rather pointless, experience with blogging though is where that sentiment mainly originates. So many times I've thought about blogging about a particular topic, only to find that my point of view is being fairly ably demonstrated in an existing post (or, as in this case, I can happily express my POV through a comment on an existing post).

    I agree that GOOD bloggers do try and find a unique angle / rant / etc, but I think there are more than a few who just bring the echo, and that we'd be better off without the noise.

    Your last paragraph sums up a lot of it, I think..

    "Unless, of course, the only aim is to get onto Techmeme in the first place"

    Ahem ;)

    Great post! If I was the sort of person who used a feed aggregator, you'd SO be in it now.
