Between you and me, I’ve been dealing with the same issue for several months now. They link to me, say something nice and take a weak and unoffensive stand on some issue.

I thought about writing a similar article, but I figure it would just drive readers to their blog, or they would stop linking me and that would keep people from coming to mine for real analysis.

Personally I don’t mind if I ruffle some feathers over at McAfee’s blog and I don’t mind if they stop linking me. I’d much rather back my position with intelligent, original ideas.

Looking at the first page of their blog I see only a single post of entirely original content and it’s about one of their events (which, consequently is the only post with any comments).

Granted, a big part of blogging is participating in other blogs, but it looks to me like their doing more of an aggregation service than anything else.

If I’m wrong, McAfee set me straight!
