One of the reasons we like to Web 2.0 is how easy it is to share, repackage, and re-share content. Sometimes the content we find is too complicated or uses legalese, sometimes it is too vague for our purposes. But thanks to the advances available to us we can rework content to suit our needs.
Don't Forget to Hit the Share Button
We also like to hit that share button on Facebook or the retweet button on twitter. It's the 2013 version of that Breck's commercial, I told someone and she told someone, and so on! With only a few minutes, a quick blurb and we can quickly share information with our followers that they might not have seen from the original poster. We can even add our own spin, by writing our own blogpost that explores our thoughts on the topic, link to the original site and share the whole thing via Facebook and Twitter!
Won't Our Followers Be Overwhelmed?
Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint, there is so much content floating around on the web that sharing, re-packaging and re-sharing is necessary. In addition, it does take visitors time to view, absorb and act on content. Thus re-sharing is often a necessary activity on the web.
