Where does the content come from?

Posted by scottfrein on July 1, 2008

I know this blog is usually about music, guitars, gear, etc.. but I was thinking about the content and what I could add to it. As I read other music blogs, sites, and press releases I realized that many sites have the same content. They link to each other in some cases. So where does the content come from?

I try to provide posts that are not linked to any story I’ve seen but rather an opinion or topic I feel like writing about. Sure I have links to other sits and content but I would like to think my blog provides something different in that it is me writing the content.

So where do all the other stories originate from? I link to them, other blogs link to them? So who writes them? Is there a room somewhere with unknown, nameless writers frantically pounding away at their keyboards trying to get a story written?

This is the case with any subject on the new interweb version 2.0 whatever that means. Many blogs link to other blogs that link to a news site that links to another site and so on. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with it, I just wonder if one day hop on to yahoo and there will just be a list of links to sites which link to other sites which link back to yahoo.

Only time will tell.

Scott
