Recognizing that the mothers over in Nigeria are getting mad for a much higher purpose, I’m still herewith chastising Adam Curry and Dan Gilmor for not researching their sources far back enough to note publicly that it was b!X who first blogged the news about blog.salon.com. You can follow b!X tracking of the sin of omission on his site, where he admits feeling passed over.
So, know all ye who pass here, it was indeed theonetruebix who got there first.
Is this a good example of how blogging differs from “professional” journalism (where writers accurately document the ultimate sources of their information)? And is it also an example of the fact that blogdom is just as much a hierarchy and “old boy” network as the world under our feet?
