Sing it sister!

I couldn’t agree more with all of what you’re saying. I’ve grown increasingly uninterested in the ‘sphere. I seem to be hearing far too many people say “…just turn it over to the community and let them solve it!” or “…I’ve been blogging so I’m going to quit my job and become a social media consultant”.

It’s frustrating that we’re just duplicating efforts on top of duplicated efforts rather than creating anything new and really grouping up to create something larger. I’m probably as guilty as anyone, of course, but still bugs me.

[...] Last week’s Pendulum post inspired many great comments on the topic from the likes of Valeria Maltoni and Debbie Weil. Later in the week some prominent bloggers wrote related posts. Most notably Pam Slim wrote “How to avoid being ‘fan boy’ or ‘fan girl when building relationships with people you admire.’” Jason Falls wrote a post about bloggers taking themselves too seriously.

Jason,

Love the post.

Quotes like “A-list bloggers have an awfully bad habit of blowing smoke up each otherâ€™s asses,” are what make me want to share a bottle of Kentucky bourbon with you.
