Marcelo Calbucci

    I read almost all blogs from Seattle entrepreneurs, organizations, VCs, etc. One trend that I see a lot recently is a blogger that finds an interesting link, post about it, then other bloggers pick up and write about it, without giving credit to the original blogger that found the link. That's bad.

    The proper etiquette is to do what the super blog Boing Boing does. At the end of your post just write "via XYZ blog" and link to XYZ blog. Of course, if the original information came from the XYZ blog (or their own blog network) than you don't have to say the "via...".

    For example, if I write on "Marcelo Calbucci" blog about a link on Seattle 2.0, and you want to link to the Seattle 2.0 blog, you don't have to write "via Marcelo Calbucci". However, if I write about an informative post on the The Angel Angle blog, and you want to link to that blog, you should write "via Marcelo Calbucci" and link "Marcelo Calbucci" to http://marcelo.sampasite.com.

    And just to be clear, I'm not the one that is not getting credit, but a lot of good people that I know are.
