Are these the same people who plagiarized their work in high school and college? I finished school after receiving a masters in education. Not one time did I copy anything that someone else wrote. If I used anything in my research it was noted and in the bibliography. This goes for my blogs...I'm not a problogger either (yet). But problogger or not, if I put anything in my posts from another site I credit the source and provide a link if possible. How wrong that anyone would consider putting another persons words down as their own, either on purpose or as carelessly as Villager seemed to do it. wow…where is the moral standard?

All these new territories to explore now that we are so "online"! I wonder if one day there will be laws against that! Pussreboots made me laugh! very interesting!

While it annoys me it also makes me feel like I've "made it." If I'm good enough to have my stuff stolen, I must be improving as a writer. I’ve had a bunch of reviews plagiarized.

That's important to know, however the similarities between your article and his remain remarkable. I do hope in the future you choose not to copy others' work.

Darren Rowse provided a home for the post in January 2007 ... however, he didn't write it. I appreciate the feedback that has been generated ... mostly I appreciate the candid comments that bloggers like Darren and Trula provided to me. I'm in my first year as a blogger (my 1st anniversary is January 13th!). As such, I'm open to feedback, comments and such. I gave credit and link back to the article that inpsired me. Based on the feedback, I gave more prominence to the credit and added the name of the original author of the piece with a link back to his blog as well. As Darren noted ... it wasn't plagarism. As Darren noted ... he thought it was brushing up against some blogger ethical codes. Hopefully, I've made the adjustment that will satisfy Darren, Trula and the original author (Tony). The key is that my audience ... people and bloggers of African descent ... is now better able to market their blogs in 2008. That was my intent in sharing the information. I'm not a pro-blogger ... so I get no financial benefit from it ... however, I must admit that I'm jazzed that so many of you will be visiting <a href="http://electronicvillage.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">the other blog</a> this week as a result of Freelancing post (smile). peace, Villager For the record … Darren Rowse provided a home for the post in January 2007 … however, he didn’t write it.

That is not right. I have wondered in other more seasoned bloggers eyes if a person post about another bloggers writing and then block quote a portion (small bullet or two) is that okay? I have often wondered. Thanks for the great post. JB Arrived here from http://twitter.com/admiral70 Wow steal the whole thing and give a little credit back. That is not right.
