If I want to read random personal articles, stories or opinions, I surf the blogs.

If I want reliable news ~ I go to reliable sources (some of which are blogs)

What I don’t like is blogs that contain hardly any original writing. I’ve seen too many that simply go out and take the first couple of paragraphs from a New York Times article, then offer a mere couple of sentences with their opinion and a link to the original article.

To me, this is not blogging. It is plagiarizing.
