reblogging: Are Points Your Motivation For Re-blogging?
- 07/17/11 07:46 AM
The title of Russel Ray's blog, "Feature worthy and rebloggable, #5" caught my attention. It wasn't a stretch to conclude the blog would likely offer affirmation and praise for noteworthy blogs and bloggers. I was initially intrigued and captivated. Then I read Ray's introduction and opening comment, "Since the ActiveRain system lets us reblog up to ten posts per week for points..." and became immediately disenchanted. Herein lies the motivation? Sigh! Are points your motivation for re-blogging? (Disclaimer: This is a generalized question and not posed to Ray). It's disheartening to think that point acquisition appears to be singled out as the sole purpose and reason for re-blogging. (16 comments)
