copy and paste notoriety



Have you noticed how many blog postings, twitters and other digital ways of publicizing ourselves are basically quotes of someone else's ideas?
From the amazing speeches on TED to the more mundane updates on Facebook, copying and pasting and re-packaging other people's observations has become a completely acceptable way to establish oneself as an "influential".

While it is surely a good thing to help spreading ideas to a larger audience, it seems worth noting the disproportionate attention we pay to the messengers these days.

In this blog you will find the two clearly separated and labelled to help avoid any confusion or dubious credits.
