Corporate Blogs: It's The PageRank, Stupid (businessinsider.com)

I don't understand how people can get away with just copying an entire blog post from some other blog.

The "It's the X, Stupid" meme died in the early 90s, stupid.

"Even Google fails this - their pathological cuteness and lame humor comes off as contrived. It's not funny. It's irritating."

Really? That's odd because I quite enjoy it.

I don't know the people who run the blog or how they select posts for it, but I'd imagine it is pretty informal. Surely there is a tough quality gate right right before pressing "post", but other than that, the posts seem quite genuine. The personality is very much inline with my brief experiences working for Google.
