I can't figure out whether we should be quitting these topics, or simply trying to find creative angles to them. As I said on Twitter, I think maybe we do want to read these "unoriginal" topics. It's also easy as bloggers to get caught up in the topics you know people will read. Thanks for your insight!Elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07384430934881752883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-506060093946686346.post-8734756803527721752009-05-13T07:07:00.000-04:002009-05-13T07:07:00.000-04:00Hey Ellie - <br /><br />I'm guilty of blogging on every single one of these topics. But I am (trying) to get away from the norm. It seems, everywhere you turn, originality is really lacking in the blogosphere these days. Is it because originality is lacking? Or are these the topics that people really just WANT to read because they can connect with them? They have opinions, they'll leave comments, lend their thoughts to a discussion, etc?Matthewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01625124688674556521noreply@blogger.com
