With 55 million or so blogging I rather doubt it. Is there any topic — no matter how obscure — that isn’t written about by 500 bloggers somewhere?

It depends on your readers actually. My readers are not really updated to these kind of stuff so when I write about these, I reach out to them. sometimes, you have to write about a hot topic.

When something big is happening and there's a groundswell or a big meme-burst, everyone is affected and everyone is thinking about it. So of course we post about it. I had a slew of BlogRush posts. I'm normally not one to go jumping on bandwagons and echoing the same news as everyone else, but BlogRush was big news and I had some things to say about it I didn't hear anyone else saying. Great post, Chris! Chris, these are some great and valid points. When something big is happening and there’s a groundswell or a big meme-burst, everyone is affected and everyone is thinking about it.

Unless you're immediately at the source of things, it's been written about. So don't be afraid to write about something if someone else might already have done so, you can't go around it.

It's rare to write about a hot topic and not have hundreds of other people writing about the same thing. The ones that complain, well, they'll get over it. Yes, you have, but that’s okay.
