Doing a search on a topic I'm writing about, I keep bringing up the same, lackluster articles posted in various sites. I love watching Samantha Brown's travel show on Travel and Living. Not only do I get great ideas where to go (if I had the time and means to do so), but she really makes you want to go to the places even if you've never heard of it. Her cheery way of "reporting" can also be applied when writing, IMO. :) Kats last blog post..<a href="http://katkatkatkat.blogspot.com/2008/07/genies-return.html" rel="nofollow">The Genies Return!</a> What many pro-bloggers tend to forget is that people do actually read entries and want to gain something from them.

This week I've been seeing the same review of the same online optical shop using nearly the same language. Now, it's very unlikely that all these people needed eyeglasses at exactly the same time and all chose to write about their impressions of the site, and that all these impressions were positive. When every review written by a blogger comes out with the exact same positive, uncritical tone, readers are going to begin tuning you out. Your advice applies to any kind of review writing.
