Michael Mulvey brought up another great point to Marcelo Somers “Linkblog Cancer” post that I linked to yesterday:

If I don’t have a unique perspective to the link in question, I usually won’t link to it. I don’t want to be the noise in the conversation.

That’s a great point. I believe readers are looking for a writer’s perspective. There are lots of places to get the news, but each writer has their own perspective.
