One of the things I noticed before I started blogging about the Mets, but have especially noticed since, is that there are tons of different Mets themed blogs out there. Undoubtedly, this comes from the deep passion Mets fans have for their team. That is what spurred me to do it, along with my love of writing. One thing I've noticed, though, is that there's a decent amount of competition out there, as well. I've noticed a few writers out there taking content from other blogs, rewording it, and using it as their own. I've noticed writers changing the time on their posts to make it look like they had the scoop first. I've even noticed some writers just flat out stealing content, no rewording, no credit, nothing.
Sometimes I wonder if this is just coincidence, since we all get our info from basically the same sources, or if it really is the heat of competition. Either which way, it's fascinating (and funny) to watch. I imagine these sorts of things happen with Yankees blogs, Jets blogs, Giants blogs, etc. just the same. NY is a competitive place and everyone wants to be on top. Here at SmallBall, we just want to have fun. Your thoughts?
