The Technology Liberation Front Says to Look Both Ways Before You Cross the Street
Uh oh.
Some people who seem to nearing the land of obsessive-compulsiveness will consider the title of this post “plagiarized.” You see, I didn’t attribute the title of this post to a specific person at the The Technology Front or put “Look Both Ways Before You Cross the Street” in quotes.
The actual author of the post must be really mad, as I haven’t specifically named him. I guess I’d better link to his post or I’ll be in trouble with the Plagiarism Police outposts at the Daily Bellwether and the Cincinnati Enquirer.
And why didn’t the TLF poster tell us where HE got “Look Both Ways Before You Cross the Street” from? Was it from here, here, or elsewhere?
Zheesh.
NixGuy has reached a boil over the long history of this and similar accumulated nonsense, and I don’t blame him. Go there, and I’ll stifle an oh-so-tempting rant over the chronic failure by Old Media (to be fair, excluding the targets of this post’s criticism), going back at least as far as Drudge-Isikoff-Lewinsky, to attribute so many of “their” stories to the blogs and other online sources where news has so often appeared first.
