I'm fairly sure that's a first. I'm not sure what that says about either of us ;)</p><p>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).</p><p>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.</p><p>Your last paragraph sums up a lot of it, I think..</p><p>"Unless, of course, the only aim is to get onto Techmeme in the first place"</p><p>Ahem ;)</p><p>Great post!
