The Pool of Human Knowledge

Au Lecteur

First and foremost I’ll have to warn you – the reader whose existence I doubt – that I am again blogging about blogging or blogging about how I think blogging ought be carried out. Typical, eh?

Adding to The Pool of Human Knowledge

It is solely my own opinion that you oughtn’t just blog about something you read somewhere and then slightly summarizing what you read and throwing in a link to the site you read that something from, without adding anything and simply reinstating something already told somewhere else – this is something that even I’ve been guilty of doing. But instead – keep in mind that this is just my two cents on the matter at hand – you should offer a new perspective on the thing you read from somewhere else or perhaps combine the knowledge you have gathered from various sources giving you a more neutral view on the matter – thus “adding to the pool of human knowledge” and not simply throwing in something that is already there.

If everyone were to just blog about something they heard on Fox News, without even attempting to bring about something that they themselves have come up with, the Blogosphere would be filled with pulp in the worst sense of the word in no time. And that is not what blogging is about, is it? To have a blog is to have the possibility to be a critic of the world around you, why not taking advantage of such an option, if it is offered to you?
