I think we all go through this phase -- I know I did and twitter just makes it worse in some ways because when it was just blog posts the process was slower. Now with twitter it becomes instantaneous so its a lot easier to create enthusiasm, excitement and the rush. In terms of why do bloggers not get the voice that they deserve? -- it's just how it is. That is why I make so much effort to support new bloggers, encourage people to visit their sites and comment because I remember what it was like starting out.
