Info-Cracks
Sunday, December 26, 2010 4:53:18 AM
I use the term info-crack to refer to posting content merely for the sake of posting content. It's not specific to the self-help field -- or even to blogging.
From a blogger's perspective, info-crack is what you put out when you have nothing special to say, but you feel you have to post something anyway, if only to appease your RSS subscribers and keep them hooked. So you pop out a shallow top-10 post or something along those lines. But the content is totally uninspired, and you know it. You're posting for the sake of posting, not because you have something meaningful to share.
From a reader's perspective, you digest info-crack when you subscribe to dozens of RSS feeds, and you can't even remember what most of them posted the previous week, let alone yesterday. Digesting such content may give you a momentary high, but it provides no long-term benefit. Reading it is a waste of your time.
I've written some info-crack myself from time to time, but I have a strong aversion to doing so. I'd rather go more than a week w/o posting anything and wait until I have an inspired idea to share. Not everyone will share my enthusiasm for every idea of course, but at least I'll know that I care about what I'm sharing and that I'm not just posting for the sake of posting.
