You have a point.. but then again, notcot.org looks like a tumblelog (I know, it's not, but it looks like one) of pretty much anything that is shiny on the internets.

I will say this though -- notcot seems to have proper attribution, I can't say the same for kaYne's blog, it doesn't link back to anything.

Cool… but looks to me like most of the blog is lifted straight out of NOTCOT.ORG

I agree with you, Liz. Most of the architectural/design stuff he blogs about I've already seen on Inhabitat, Cool Hunting, EcoGeek, etc. I missed that he doesn't credit back, though. That's a strike, I'd say.

Awesome post. I've been following Kanye's blog game for a minute now. Those design posts are mostly copy and pasted from a handful of blogs, I noticed. I was a bit annoyed by that, especially since there's no linkback to the blog or the vendor of the product. Sometimes he paraphrases, other times it's straight Copy/Paste. But you're right, it's like tumbling. I do appreciate the posts that seem like he wrote them (the ones about his tour, his new shoes, his playing Connect Four with Beyonce).
