RSS Feeds: It's our fault that bloggers write about the same things
Have you guys ever wondered why a lot of bloggers seem to blog about blogging? I have… a lot. But the answer is pretty simple. It's a question of popularity. You see, I have visited a lot of social bookmarking and networking communities and it seems that only certain topics keep getting more and more popular, no matter who writes about them. With no offense to communities like Digg and BloggingZoom, it appears to me that the majority of topics that become popular are the ones that either talk about technology, celebrity gossip, politics or (in the case of BloggingZoom) making money online through blogging. In fact, I think about 80-90% of the topics submitted to BZ fall into the category of blogging about blogging. It's about finding the lowest common denominator in this instance and that is blogging.
