Thanks, theres some great advice there, and this is something that im not often seeing people suggest, usually people encourage to just go with the flow, follow the crowd, do what everyone else is doing.

Transparency in a company – what a concept! I think hot air topics do give a nod to a writers voice, if timely. Many times when visiting a blog I find myself think why certain things aren't being covered. This leads me to think that the company is lazy because they don't have someone covering all aspects of their niche. Maybe 6 of one half a dozen of another?

Blogging is about communication with the reader, so if the content is give value to the reader, better we write from the writer perpective. you are right.

I have to disagree somewhat with the “copy-cat” you talk about. In my experience, being a copy cat blogger seems to be the status quo these days. Here’s a test: Start by checking out the Twitter account of this blog for example (Bloggingtips). Look at who they’re following and check out a handful of those blogs. Keep branching out and follow their followers as well. It doesn’t take long before you start to notice a pattern of blog posts and content that is all very similar or copy-cat. Many have almost the same themes just with different colors. Really, how many “Top 30 Twitter Backgrounds” or “Top 10 WordPress Tips” can there be? All the content looks the same to me, just rehashed and re-twittered to get page views.

Maintaining a constant 'voice' throught out your post is difficult but it is probably the best way to go.

I'm just starting in the blogging trend, and i'm mainly using it too just publish my work / things I learn on the web. But I have definatly seen this trend on the blogs that I follow.

I must agree that it's due to increased publicity to get more coverage for there blogs

Absolutely correct .

We should create our own voice like Darren Rowse or Chris Brogan.

But nowadays blogging is a money making business and after the Google's algorithm changes in 2007 lot of bloggers publishing blogs.They can publish but with original voice.

They are copying others just like as a duplicator of MJ.

And even they are spoiling the blog sphere with their blogs.

They published blogs for Search Engines but not for human.

Well that's kind of what I'm saying. There's a lot of redundancy with the content being spread across the social web. It's easy for your voice to get lost in the crowd if you're merely repeating what others are saying. Nothing wrong with commenting on other's blogs with your own blog article, or republishing content. But interject with your own personality every once in a while!
