Wikipedia says Web log aka "Blog" as a place for expressing one's thoughts / ideas to others. The number of users writing blogs has exploded exponentially over the past few years. That a good sign of growth in Internet world. But, the worrying part is, the bloggers are not always the proprietors of the content written on their blogs. Most of the contents put up on the blogs are plagiarized. Also, with the advent of RSS aggregators (like Google Reader), it becomes easy for the people to be on track with whatz happening in other blogs and copy them. Know what Wikipedia says about Plagirarism on internet.
I have been following quite a lot of technical blogs and whenever any product is getting released from any of the top companies or any new utils, I could see them posted almost on all the blogs. And, the review will also be from the same perspective. Recently, you can see the articles on "Google SearchWiki", "GMail Themes", "Amazon CloudFront" in almost all the leading technical blogs. Thatz not wrong. But, it would be better if they can give us their views on products rather than giving an overview about the products. Its better to link the contents than copying and making a statement from the same line. Even I could see some newspapers are copying contents.
Lets think about it and make web a clean place for sharing knowledge (than just flooding with same information)
