Wow this may be the first Gruber article I've actually liked. Professional blogging has devolved almost exclusively into rewriting someone else's article, cramming their story onto your site full of your links to your stuff and usurping as much traffic, SEO and ad impressions as you can get for it. And it's really nice to see it called out. All of these blogs would be much more enjoyable to read if they weren't afraid of losing ad impressions by linking to something useful instead of a tag page or past fluff piece.
