None of us own iweb, none of us can claim to have "discovered it" it was put out there for people to use and anyone should feel free to write what they want about it, TBH Im surprised that conversation even took place....

That is what blogging is about. Your personal point of view on a subject. You post is an example, you write about what tool you used and how it affects you. There is a big difference between covering the same subject and posting the same content. Network TV news is suffering from this problem. I you watch one network, you could write the script for the teleprompter for nearly all the others. Not only is the subject the same but the words also. There is no dissenting point of view.

Even though two people may write about the same thing, their thoughts could be so far apart that no one would even realise. If there is a risk of losing credibility, just post your article and add a little at the beginning about how you didn't realise it was already covered until after you had written the post. I think this enforces the need to be transparent right from the beginning. This will build a level of trust and people will believe you when you say you did not copy.

It comes down to who you read and why. Do you like their style? Do you like their take on something. I don't care if someone else wrote something 10 days ago, or if 10 people wrote about it this morning and I know msdanielle has read them all. If I prefer to read msdanielle's posts because I like her writing and respect her opinions then at the end of the day it's all good.
