I've ranted previously about bloggers who seem to need to have paid advertising on their blogs. Said rant hasn't had any impact that I've been able to measure.
Today's grouse has to do with something kind of related. There's a relatively new phenomenon I've noticed (and how could I help but notice? [rhetorical question]). It involves people who write quilting books and then have blog tours to promote their book. They line up a bunch of popular bloggists and apparently give them a copy of the book and perhaps even another copy to give away, all of this in return for a mention on the blog. And they line up a bazillion or two of these blogs so that for the next godonlyknowshowlong every single day on some blog or another there will be a pitch for said book. Just about wears me out.
Okay. Rant over.
