I'm even considering unsubscribing from a couple of blogs I read because of this - and my tolerance level is very high, believe me. Showing enthusiasm about your online findings when you share them through your blog is perfectly understandable - everyone tries to catch their readers' attention with those posts, that's one of the main points of blogging and obviously there's nothing wrong about that. But with time, people start being <i>way</i> too enthusiastic, making very difficult for others to take them seriously when everything they share is apparently <i>insanely awesome</i> or <i>fantastically amazing</i> or <i>unbelievably mindblowing</i>. In short, yes, this has to be said. Thanks for allowing us non-bloggers to rant through you :) I totally agree with you, I’ve been thinking the same for a while now.

My RSS reader is filled with these titles daily. I've read enough of them to almost visually ignore and read right past the sensationalist titles. Unfortunate, disappointing and yes, even annoying. Thanks for getting this off your chest so I can rant vicariously through you! :) Love what you’ve said and totally agree. My RSS reader is filled with these titles daily.
