Here are the results of my review and the 10 types of bloggers I found. You'll notice that they range from good to bad to sleazy.

1. Good: People who ask permission to reprint your article and add a bio with links back as requested.

2. Good: People who republish without asking permission but at least link back to the original article.

3. Good: People who blog about something you wrote and who link to your original article, providing their own unique commentary or spin to go with it.

4. Okay: People who blog about what some other blogger blogged about, and link to both the original article and the blogger's commentary.

5. Bad: People who blog about what some other blogger blogged about it (as in #4 above), but who link back only to the blogger and not the original.

6. Bad: People who blog on the topic and then Digg their OWN post instead of the original.

7. Sleazy: People who don't ask to republish but do it anyway, and don't even link back!

8. Sleazy: Scrapers who link or don't link, but add contextual link ads and other crap to the content.

9. Strange: People who blog but somehow get their facts wrong.

10. Dumbasses: People who just blog it cuz everyone else is.

Good blog posts are good for a reason. Simply writing about something because everyone else has is not a good blog post
