Mini-tumblr pet peeve
I hate to whine... Just kidding. Who doesn't like to whine every now and then? I also love to wine. Now that is where it is really at...
As for my pet peeve- I love tumblr. I love food. I decided to start a new tumblr for myself about said love for food. Since joining the food conversation on tumblr, I've realized many, many of the food bloggers just love to repost everything they see on Tastespotter. Now, I am a little obsessed with the website, so I check it regularly, which I assume a lot of foodies do. So, is it necessary to reblog all those pictures? Every now and then, maybe, it would be acceptable to post a picture that is really up your alley. But if you check tastespotter and I check tastespotter, why must you continually reiterate their ideas on a separate website? That is what that website is there to do. I just want to read/see/hear some more original and personal food ideas on a website designed to do just that. I just want to know what is important to the blogger who is posting the blog... That is the beautiful freedom of this highly personalizable medium!
I won't apologize, but I am stepping off my soapbox. For those still around, thank you for sticking with me. :)
