Syndication is great, but…
May 28th, 2007It bugs me that now that every newspaper on the planet has an RSS or Atom feed, just about any search on a “blog” search engine about a newsworthy topic will turn up mostly newspapers.
On the one hand, that’s great, because I can find news articles. On the other hand, that can be annoying, because I like blogs because they’re NOT newspapers.
Of course, you also have to deal with the fact that a lot of lazy (and or spammy) bloggers just lift articles from newspapers and stick them on a blogspot blog or whatever, which just adds to the frustration.
