There is something peculiar about News bloggers; a good percentage of them copy each other without making modifications. The fact that their blogs are always similar with posts looking like copied assignments makes me wonder if they ever read what they post to the public. Most even copy their way to trouble. Approximately, only 1% of news bloggers actually write their own story while the other 99% bloggers wait like scavengers, for the latest news post on such blogs. Of course, it's only normal to see several blogs writing about the same recent happenings because just a few of them have the privilege of accessing first hand information about incidents but I'd be glad to read reports of the same incident in a different perspective. Obviously, that wouldn't hurt a bit. Laziness shouldn't be a known quality of any blogger, but if you are one who enjoy copy pasting, permit me to say that you are lazy!

I've always wished blogger had a better comment system that isn't as shabby looking as the default system which of course most of us have to put up with. A good percentage of bloggers using blogspot hunger for the WordPress style commenting system and that's why I guess they created intensedebate which really didn't satisfy that hunger but here I am, adding some more to boost your satisfaction. That's that... Check out a Demo here . Here is how to get a WordPress style comm...

At least, you get to know if the product or service is worth your money. It's OK to order for a sample product but it's lame when you don't intend purchasing it... Anyways, my concern about free trials today is joining premium websites or opting in for premium services on the basics of free trial.
