Mississippi Criminal Defense (Law) Blog
According to my research, I've been publishing the Mississippi Criminal Defense Law Blog for 1 year, 3 months and 20 days. I've averaged between 1 and 2 posts a week over that time. Certainly I haven't spent all my time here, but I would say I've made an effort to provide what I consider an informative criminal law source to Mississippi residents.
I also follow a number of other bloggers, both locally and nationally, and I poke around every now and then to see if anyone new has popped up. I did that this morning, and I admit I found myself slightly irritated to discover a new criminal law blog in Mississippi. Not that I have anything against other criminal law attorneys, nor do I believe that I have a corner on the blogging market. In fact, I have links to a number of Mississippi blogs in my Blogroll to the left.
I'm irritated because another attorney set up a blog with a title almost identical to the title at the top of this page. You can now visit me on the Mississippi Criminal Defense Law Blog, or go looking for my blog and stumble upon the uniquely titled Mississippi Criminal Defense Blog. I find it difficult to believe that the attorney who began blogging there barely two weeks ago, on July 2, 2009, wasn't aware of this blog or its name. I actually find it more plausible that the nearly identical name was chosen to trade on the established visibility of this blog. Like I said, that irritates me.
The internet is a wide open place, and I have no control over this attorney or his choice of a blog title. But that doesn't stop my irritation at his choice - my initial reaction included visions of a parasite. I guess all I can do is wish him luck, it isn't easy to build a web presence from the ground up.
