For the best info on what might be considered plagiarism or not, check  
out The Little Book of Plagiarism by Judge Richard Posner: http://www.amazon.com/Little-Book-Plagiarism-Richard-Posner/dp/037542475X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1209918672&sr=8-1

It's hard to plagiarize yourself, but it's possible. =c) I think it  
would only really be considered plagiarism if (this is Posner's idea)  
people are expecting that you don't do it. If it doesn't matter, then  
you can't really plagiarize yourself. For instance, you probably  
should cite yourself if you're writing a paper, but if you're doing  
something informally, there's no problem. A blogger might say the same  
thing over and over again, and people will recognize that (especially  
if the blogger links him or herself),  whereas an academic will want  
to go back and look at all the work that lead to a particular  
conclusion or statement.
