I do think it happens unintentionally many times (or I want to believe) because we all are constantly getting the same email blasts from the same PR people. I find myself more often Googling the subject of the pitch first to see who else has posted - if I find any major sources in search results, I will never post, unless I have a very good or unique angle. I hope PR people will help us solve this issue one day by doing a better job targeting and dividing their blogger contacts into smaller groups and niches, and by approaching each with different angles. But of course the core responsibility is ours - if you don't have anything new to add to the story, don't clutter the already cluttered digital space - that's been my point of view. Thanks for bringing up the subject! hey Grechen, I'm also very curious about the subject of re-posting, and explored it on my blog recently.

I do it all the time because I know I would want the same back. Plus blogging is totally about communication and interactivity with the internet. It's great to start a blog to blog conversation.
