[Air-L] etiquette for reusing or reposting blog posts

[Robert Cannon]

People do it all the time.  Look at CIRCLEID as an example.  Most of the posts there are also posted to the individuals blogs.  Different blogs have different audiences - some are more personal - others are clear communities surrounding specific topics of interest.  Sometimes people try out version 1.0 on there personal blog and then post version 2.0 on a community like CIRCLEID

I will say this as an aggregator.  I know some people who post 100% of their personal stuff on a collective blog -- after a while of filtering through the duplicate posts, I detect it and drop the personal blog from my aggregation.

There is a frequency-to-noise ratio issue.  Duplicates become noise.  People will seek to filter the noise if it becomes a problem.
