If it's really boring, there won't be so many visitors to this blog. Keep up the good work girl.

I got to agree on that. I have never find internet marketing or tech blogs boring because these topics are my interests. Likewise, i believe my readers feel the same way and this is why they are frequently coming back for more.

A lot of people probably don't realize that you can have extreme learning curve on Web 2.0 technologies just by following good Web 2.0 blogs. This is one of them.

In the law of attraction, you attract people to you likeness. Therefore, people who are attracted to you, in terms of your writing style will come from all places on earth. You do not need to worry whether they find your blogging boring.

There is a certain style of writing that really captivates me. You sound laid back but have so much passion and composure when you get into the groove. Talking about the title, it really caught my attention.

I notice you write a lot of geeky stuff. You should write a little on the Election. That'll spice things up.

It's not really about Tech being boring. Apparently there are a lot of people who just cut and paste articles from all sorts of news networks. That makes it boring. Controversial topics can be sometimes fun especially when Tech Companies have a go at each other.

I feel like the problem isn't that there's no news out there, but rather that everyone's got the same stories (much as in traditional media). I understand why all the major blogs need to cover all the major stories, but since they do each have the occasional story that no one else has got, as a reader I need to follow all of them to make sure I'm not missing anything - and end up reading the same major story 5 times. It would almost be better if bloggers just posted a link to a press release or previous story with the basic info and then actually wrote out their own take on it, so that readers could get the perspective without reading the same background info over and over.

I think it's also frustrating as a start-up when you feel you have a big, interesting, NEW story but don't get any love from bloggers because you're not Google or Microsoft. I'm sure I'm not the only one in that position :)

Leslie, I think you are spot on (per usual). The real issue here is when money and art start playing in the same sandbox. A lot of the burnout comes from playing to quotes/traffic and all the cruft that fuels the large networks and some of the little guys alike.

There comes a point in your career as a blogger when you have to decide who you're writing for. I think the answer to that question decides how quickly you hit your burn cycle.

Great perspective Corvida.

It is very American of us to expect everything we see to fascinate and amaze. Some things are worth writing about even if they haven't been Bedazzled. I love writing tech news, social media news, and playing in this sandbox. Where it gets hard is the quota system many blogs have to get daily content/eyeballs. Some days it would be better to skip writing: no news, needing to keep writing fresh by taking a break, etc.. The current pay per post method of most blogs does not allow for that. If we could move away from a dependency on ads and find other revenue streams that would change as a matter of course, and many burnt out bloggers might find renewed energy and passion.

At the same time, there are a few major blogs out there that don't always go directly off of the press release. Problogger is a major blog that I've never seen a press release on. There are A-listers that go the opposite way, you just have to find them. On the other hand, just because you use a press release as a starting point doesn't mean it has to be the end all, be all of your post.

Of course, my own personal A-list doesn't go off of PRs all the time either.

Perhaps it's burnout time for some bloggers! You still have energy, excitement, and a fresh perspective which is why you're fun to read. The question is, though, is that level of enthusiasm sustainable? For someone like Scoble, blogging since...the late 90's (I believe), he may have had enough, esp considering that there are now completely new tools to communicate and network with others (like FriendFeed, obviously). Why bother blogging when he can just post a link on FriendFeed? Plus, he's absolutely right - many A-List blogs are more like traditional media outlets now - the content is very much defined by press releases - slews of them - and less by bloggers actually finding something exciting (or different or fascinating) and sharing it with others through a post.
