In reactie op de richtlijnen voor bloggen van o.a. Rebecca Blood en Michael Stephens heeft de Free Range Librarian het over de (anti)richtlijnen voor bloggen. Een paar quotes:
2. If you’re short on material, just borrow it from another site, and move around a couple of words so it looks just like you wrote it. They do that at big newspapers all the time.
7. Avoid citing your sources. What if you get your facts wrong? Your sources will hang you! Besides, this strategy gives you the leeway to use just about anyone as a source, regardless of their qualifications or conflicts of interest.
10. See if you can accept money for promoting products you like, as long as you don’t have to tell your readers about the deal.
14. Finally, remember that unlike traditional publishing mediums, you are not weighed down with accountability, there are no consequences for what you write, and the squeaking blog gets the hits. Ready fire aim!
