Blog Bubbles

All the content on my blogs is original, but I don't get huge amounts of traffic. The Housing Bubble Blog, on the other hand, consists mostly of quotes from news articles, with snippets of commentary here and there. It might be fair to say that the entire blog is plagiarized. (Though, with some mixed feelings, I do read it, since it's interesting.)

The Housing Bubble Blog regularly gets 100 or more comments on a daily basis. I'm lucky if I get one measly comment on any post I submit to any blog (including this one). The housing bubble does seem to be a hot topic, however, and the few blogs I've checked in that arena seem to stir up quite the commentary. Housing bubble blogs are hot right now!

So maybe I'm targeting the wrong blog niche...except a thought has occured to me:

What if we are experiencing a Housing Bubble Blog Bubble...meaning, an artificial glut of Housing Bubble Blogs in the blogosphere! As a late adopter to the Housing Bubble Blog Bubble, if I tried to jump in now, I'd probably get screwed. I'd invest far too much for not enough return.

Perhaps, then, I should look ahead to the next Blog Bubble. What will it be? Stocks? Real estate? Dutch tulips? If I can be ahead of the game, I too can be the early adopter who gets in first and leaves when profits are good.

Stephanie, don't worry we're definitely reading. It just takes extra effort to post comments. I'll put this one here to say that I enjoy your entries.
