I don't know if anybody's noticed that, but everybody reporting on Chris Pirillo are doing exactly what he's stating in the post. I just thought there's a sweet irony with this meme.
The easiest way you can spot an echo is to look for the words "so and so has a nice post about something something"
1. They're definitely living within their news agrregator 2. They're not saying something original. (it's really not! it's merely their own spin on something existent) 3. Most of the the time, they're quoting/mentioning someone famouse like Chris 4. Though they don't necessary link to the same sites all the time, one can play six degrees of blog linking and come back to the same site again! 5. Waiting a week won't get you links, nor will you get your readers respect, they'll just say, oh... you're so lame, Chris was last week's news! 6. Don't regurgitate? Need I say more? 7. Buzzwords? I saw blogosphere, echo chamber, advice .. the list goes on 8. I seldom find people will be uncomfortable. Look at all those trackbacks on problogger! 9. Lists are so yesterday, wait.. blog about that! And make it into a list if you can! 10. Yah, stop saying we need to get out. After all, we want your audience to be my audience.
