Wow, a whole 3 words of insightful commentary. Just wow. Unbelievable.

Are you being sarcastic?

No. I am dead serious.

Copying someone else's content and pasting it in with no commentary isn't "blogging". It's just copying someone else's words. It certainly isn't adding any value.

Blogs are about producing your own content, not copying someone else's.

Well then, let me explain: I wanted to point out this column and the subject. I did not add to it because in essence, Mike Weilbacher said it all. To me, Mike's words had value. I was sharing that value.

In that case, a simple link would have been sufficient.

Seriously, copying someone else's words and not adding anything == bad. Like I stated in my previous comment, it is not adding value.

I think you need to spend some time reading other blogs and see how the pros do it. Start reading consumerist.com and lifehacker.com. Maybe read some of CNN's blogs and see how they do it. These sites are run by professionals who get paid to do this for a living. It would be a good idea to follow some of their examples.
