That is right Self Centered Bitch Mark Sierra not only hurts Blogging Zoom with duplicate content but also does not support one blogger in Blogging Zoom.

Do not pay attention to losers like this blogger.
I'll freely admit, that I did not understand bloggingzoom at all the first couple of times I came here. (might have even copy and pasted my first article or two) But I'm glad I stuck around long enough to learn ... once it starts making sense, it really does make sense.
Thanks for what you guys do for us.
This guy is a prick. How can you write that trash and it turns out the all of his four submissions where copy paste but what totally killed me is that this guy is the poster child for a self centered person he wants people to Zoom his work and read his submissions and visit his site but yet this prick does not do it himself.
The classic do not ask others what you will not do yourself.
But if you think he is self-centered because all of his submissions were his own, then I guess about ALL of the BZ users were "self-centered" when they were new. My first votes were my own posts as well. That's what people do when there is a brand new site or service: they're going to test it to see its performance. If Mark had become a regular BZ user, I know he would have submitted other posts he liked that weren't his own. But his first ones were his, because like I said, that's what people do with a new service. It's what I did and probably the majority of others.
As for the copying and pasting issue, I did the same thing with most of my submissions because I didn't know any better or understand, but I do now and I won't copy and paste again. I really love Blogging Zoom because it's a unique site and the rate of its growth is unbelievable. BZ is going to be really successful.
Anyway, I'm sure Mark's post was meant to be more constructive criticism than an attack. I've known him for a long time and he's honestly not like that, if you'll read the rest of his blog you'll come to see he's a great person.
Again, I'm glad that BZ is back up and I love the new design. Thanks for providing one of the greatest social media sites there are.

Engrossed in oneself and one's own affairs; selfish.
From his own post.
"For those of you who are not familiar with Blogging Zoom, it’s a place where bloggers can share and rate content much like digg.com. I’ve tried it a few times and each time was met with disappointment."
Now the four times he tried like said where 4 days after Blogging Zoom started. I ask you Tay if everybody that used Blogging Zoom only submitted their own work and did not visit and Zoom other articles, would anybody receive Zooms and traffic?
Jason was one of the first Users at Blogging Zoom he started the First day when their where maybe 5 users. Tay so you learn. This is not a selfish person.

Because of unselfish bloggers like Jason Blogging Zoom is what it is.
If Jason would had been a self centered bitch like Mark Sierra you would not have a place like Blogging Zoom to share your content.
Tay one of the common things that all the friends and family of Ted Bundy would repeat was what a kind and unselfish person he was. You know Tay I guess if not for the 30 murders he committed he would also be an unselfish nice person.
Tay I do not care what people say I care about their actions an intent of those actions.
Oh well, he can give up on this site, that's fine...it works for the rest of us here.
Might not make people happy, but it sure the hell got people's attention. So in terms of titles, I think he did a pretty good job.
Well, if you want to make fun of the way someone talks and ignore a site that can help you grow your traffic, by all means.
But don’t look down at someone for the way they communicate. BZ is growing by leaps and bounds, and your joke of a blog proclaiming its demise is frakking hilarious. It’s demise? Honestly? Because one email wasn’t up to your grammar specs?
So funny…hire you? Vic and Court have taught so many people the RIGHT way to grow their sites, and yet because Vic speaks in a pretty truthful, hard-nosed way, you are going to get all butt-hurt over it and write this blog.
Unbelievable. Well, stay away from BZ and watch it crumble…meanwhile, the rest of of us who understand what the frak is going on will grow our sites.
It doesn't matter if you have valid points to argue if you can't get anyone to listen to you. The way he conducted himself doesn't exactly open the rest of us up to his suggestions.
The funny thing is, Court and Vic are all about making BloggingZoom better. I've never heard anyone say anything about being treated badly by them when they made a suggestion in a courteous and respectful manner. I tend to think they'd bend over backwards to do something if they thought it would make the site better.
I'd take that kind of customer service over someone using correct grammar in an email, lol!
All they are trying to do is make sure there is no duplicate content, and if people don't listen, it bugs them. Heck, it would bug me to no end, because it hurts ALL OF US...
But as far as Zooming others goes, I have spent hours here reading posts and Zooming those I liked, yet in all but 1-2 cases, I do not receive Zooms from these people. While I don't Zoom articles just to get "reciprocal" Zooms, I would at least like some of the bloggers whose articles I have Zoomed to appear on my visitors lists here or on the blogs! I mean, if I am taking the time to Zoom their posts and check them out, I would at least like them to do the same for me.
Unfortunately, many of these newbies are completely lacking in the most basic tenets of simple Netiquette! I saw one BZ entry where the poster repeated the "key phrase" over 11 times in their single paragraph!!! I have seen multiple entries on the very same topics I covered days before - why would I Zoom these when I already wrote the article and they did not bother to Zoom mine!? ESPECIALLY when I explicitly take the time to make sure no one else has submitted similar posts to those I send in!?
Self-centered is as apt a word as you are going to get and far nicer than what I have in mind.
But don't worry too much, Vic; 97%+ of these cats will be gone by next week. They won't make "millions" in three days and they'll go looking for the next "get rich quick" fad that comes along.
I cannot WAIT until this "new" blogging "fad" dies and we old-hands can get back to it.
Do I sound bitter?
Seriously, though, I have spent hours upon hours reading articles from BZ and have been rewarded with a lot of really good information...and a lot of really BAD information. I DO NOT Zoom articles that stink. I will Zoom if I feel the author has tried to do a good job even if I think they could have or should have done better. I don't Zoom people just because they Zoom me (and I know you aren't asking for that).
There are a lot of people on BZ now and it could take some time to get noticed. But keep posting quality content and keep visiting other sites and commenting and getting to know other bloggers and you WILL see a return on the time investment. Quality content will eventually, always, rise to the top.
:)
Honestly though, what Jason says is right. Now granted, I don't always have enough time to read everything on here, but I try. My main strategy right now is to help the niche bloggers out there by making sure their articles get zoomed up.
I know that people who post articles on how to blog, make money, etc., will pretty much be guaranteed to get 5+ zooms, so I like to help vote up those local niches who have a harder time.
It became "The In Thing" in/around '99-2000 and LiveJournal, Blogger, DeadJournal, etc. all popped-up. Then it became "The Next Big Thing" 2-3 years back (@2004-5 or so) and all the blogging communities popped-up (WritingUp, BlogThis, BlogThat) and every portal, social networking, and MyWebPage site gave users their own blogs. Now it's "The Way to Work from Home and Get Richer Than You Ever Imagined" and it will go away in a few months or so.
I've been around for a decade now and (God willing) I'll be here a decade from now, it just gets a little annoying from time to time and I have to bitch for a moment to get over it.
Like I said, the vast majority of blogs aren't around for more than 2-3 months, at best. But thanks for the votes o' confidence, all! I am still going to Zoom because I have found some fun pieces and met some good bloggers - it's a great way to discover blogs that would otherwise fly under my radar.
Yes, you had a point about PR, that's fine, but the title of your blog was out of line and you did it just to get a reaction.
Congrats, you did...but you'll never get a subscriber out of me for it.
