98% of bloggers should stop writing as they are too boring
Its a bit of a controversial statement, but I’ve come to the conclusion that 98% of bloggers should stop writing, free the internet of boring or irrelevant dribble so that the useful blog posts can shine through.
What makes me say this? Well I subscribe to 40 or so blogs, and my RSS reader lets me know when they’ve been updated. Its quite nice to “feel” that there is something new to read - but 98% of the time I’m disappointed.
I think in the last week alone, I’ve seen a handful of new blog entries entitled something like “10 things that bloggers must do”, and “10 things you need to do to become a fulltime blogger”. Virtually all of the things that bloggers write about are regurgitated.
Having said that there are a few what I’d class as good bloggers who don’t rewrite what someone else has previously written and pass it off as their own. These people don’t post something just so that they a post in that day. Each blog entry is informative, but ultimately different - either giving their viewpoints on a controversial subject, or giving advice. Well done to all those!
Before I get any comments, I know I probably fall into the 98% that I talk about!
