Sensitivity To Pain During Menstruation

blogger: relevance, scarcity, reformulation and right quotation

I love to read blogs. The term "wisdom of crowds " has real meaning for me when I see every day, the wealth of information that is now available on the web. Unfortunately, like any generation, blogs are a waste important ... and whatever you read at once is probably not escape the rule!

Thus, the annoyance that I gained from reading some posts useless as far as the desire to always bring something to my readers regularly leads me to ask myself the question: what is the value of an article? Ie beyond the perennial "how to lead the reader to my article?" (SEO), I would rather ask "how my article may be useful to the reader? .

Because I say I'm tired of "articles" which are merely catalogs without logic (like "87 Web 2.0 applications), lists of links without explanation (" hello, here are 3 interesting links !), or 80% of articles pumped from other sources. Yes, I know it's good practice take whole paragraphs from his "friends" bloggers: it makes the content easier for spam, it increases the frequency of posts ... but it is neither clever nor moral, nor really useful to the community.

Let there be no mistake: the others include the backlink is a great habit of the blogosphere (it is used to find new sources for readers is a way to reward the author by new visitors and it improves the relevance of search engines), quasi-plagiarism is another.

The slightest thing to do to discuss the content created by others is to follow some rules of common sense and respect:
- the content in a few sentences you will, you will put into perspective
- no more than 10% of an item you do citeras
- always your sources you backlinks

It may seem obvious, but I recently saw blooming here and there blogs that merely catalogs and links to various pumping (and I'm not talking about "blogs-satellites" used purely for SEO): value added = 0, pollution of the blogosphere = maximum. That is said, and miraculously, my heartburn disappeared.

I therefore value added blogger. Most blogs posts in this world is based on a news, analysis, or a discovery made by others. The art of blogger is to add additional value to the content which it refers and it's why several methods:
- translate the content into another language
- criticize content
- establish correlations with other content by putting them in perspective
- reformulate the content to make it intelligible to other readers
- analyze the content to emphasize particular aspects or no evident
- summarize content (without betraying ... delicate exercise!)
- ... (List to be completed with your help)

I am among those who think the blog is not a free space for the blogger , and that he must be aware of a number of Implied duties as a de facto member of the blogosphere. But the quality of the latter depends on all of us.
