The problem you describe has in it a singular quality that people tend to “loose” – attribution – If so and so said it; give him/her the credit. Funny thing is; people can actually tell original content from stuff you get somewhere else, because they can see that the linguistic style changes, specific word selection and other telling signs are pretty obvious. I re-tweet A LOT but I only re-tweet the things I think is worthy of re-tweeting. That makes my service offering to my followers worth it, as I apply myself to removing the junk (my perception). Quote that was posted by someone I follow on twitter – "Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing." - Abraham Lincoln (@vincentbass) Hope you have a happy day… :-) Anton van den Berg Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:19:50 +0000 http://catarinasworld.com/be-yourself-instead-of-parroting/#IDComment134826143
