Thanks Associated Press!
The Associated Press reports on a story I broke yesterday without even mentioning me, the website I write for, or the users of our website who unearthed a leaked internal memo. Classy!
Various other outlets lifted the juicy parts from our report so they could pretend they discovered it without reading my story -- grabbing Slashdot & Digg traffic directly. Also Classy!
I think a number of outlets got more traffic for reconstituting the story than we did for breaking it. Nice job!
You can see the resulting news kerfuffle here as the story wormed and bloomed its way around the Internets. Reuters gives us credit. The AP? Guess that's not their style.
