As you can see above I have added a page for socialcardsters and you might be wondering what it is. It is a feed that Drew from bensparks.com has put together for members of SocialSparks and those that participate with dropping cards from entrecard.com.
Many people I’m sure have thought about that idea, but didn’t do anything about it. So the credit must go to the person that invariably follows through with an idea. I find it so funny how many people want to take credit for an idea. I’m not referring to this one of course. You hear people saying all the time that someone stole their idea and sometimes that does hold true.
However, that doesn’t mean that other people can’t use their mind to actually conceive the idea themselves and follow through. That’s why they invented the patent to protect. We have all seen the vast amount of thievery online and it’s appalling, but happens often. Sometimes just by adding a simple, all content on this blog is copyrighted will suffice, but not always.
What I find amusing are people that buy articles knowing full well that 100’s of other people are purchasing the same as theirs and then put up a caution from copyscape that they are protected from scrappers. Now how in the world are these people going to know that you didn’t purchase them also? I simply think it’s funny.
Articles that are put together and original then yes I can see that we all want to protect what we conceived, just like our children. Since many people think alike sometimes it can be pretty coincidental that similar articles may be written, but usually even though the article conveys the same ideas it is worded differently.
Okay, I totally got off the topic I started with and that was to make sure anyone visiting this blog was aware that they could be added to Drews blogroll if they are members of both programs and actually have a widget on their site.
When I’m working a program like dropping my business card on other blogs, it bothers me when people are listed and don’t even have the widget because you know you’re never going to get a reciprocating visit. I have dropped on many people that never return their card, but at least there is the off chance that maybe someday they will.
