All too often I will read some news in prominent MSM newspapers (Wall Street Joural, NYT, Chicago Tribune) and they are regurgitating what I had read (in some cases) online a week earlier. I'm glad to see David didn't storm the gates with Torches and pitchforks, but it sounds like it was close......VERY interesting EXACTLY!

C'mon MSM, the internet matters too. I didn't come across one story from the mainstream media today, had to catch it all from sphinn, here and a couple other places. Ugh. Digg has, umm, how many users. I'd hazard to guess that there's enough users that this story could at least be mentioned on the tech sections of some news org websites. I think traditional journalists will catch up (fingers crossed) one day, but don't think it will be any time soon. Agreed! C’mon MSM, the internet matters too.
