This is the headline of a post by Steve Rubel, Micro Persuasion<\/a>. The Lazysphere – he writes, ia a working definition for a group of bloggers who – he doesn’t want to name them by name – but can be spotted a mile away. Rather than
create new ideas or pen thoughtful essays, they simply glom on to the
latest news with another “me too” blog post.<\/p>\n

Since several months I myself realized that I got bored, in several cases even disappointed, by some of the very reputable bloggers. I unsubscribed a few, a few others I’m still awaiting a reversal of this trend. If you observe the scene, you may realize how topics pave their way around the internet. The blogosphere is in major parts a chain of endless reiterations within more or less pronounced cliques. As an outsider you face the same difficulties you meet in the \u00bbreal world\u00ab: hermetically sealed!
I know it is not easy to be authentic, and to be it, is many times and in many ways impossible. But the solution is not the copy, the solution may be a transformation and by this adding a different nuance or perspective to a story, a tech device, an advice etc.
In some cases it may be helpful to simply forward inspirations, advices or tipps to others… but if there is only an immense monotonous current of identical copies wallowing through the web left, than the blogoshere might strangle itself in the near future.<\/p>\n

As a blogger myself, I know well how tempting it is to purely copy. Sometimes that’s okay, because weakness and lazyness are integral part of the \u00bbhuman nature\u00ab ;-), but to raise this approach to a general blogging tecnique or strategy respectively is annoying to our subscribers and readers.<\/p>\n

I have been too moralistic, yes, you can blame me…I am sorry, I’m tired today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
