We do the same over at Digital Media Thoughts, and we get quite a bit of our content from Engadget. Always nice to see our name up in lights on Engadget from time to time. It's a small blogging world, no reason we all shouldn't give props where props are due. Thanks Ryan.

We link where we find things. If Robert had tipped us on the news we'd have given him a via link... but we found it manually at the NYT, and so the NYT got the credit.

I'm not here to sling that kind of mud -- or any kind of mud, really. As I said, I consider(ed) Scoble a pal, and despite his judgments on the newsworthiness of some other Engadget stories, I don't really feel like getting into that whole end of the debate. Still, I agree, and I believe (and work) in a strict separation of advertising and editorial.

And I appreciate your personal attention to this matter. There does appear to be a trend on the net of not providing credit where credit is do. It's practically plagiarism if you write a story that you found somewhere else and do not give credit. I love the fact that you utilize a 'via' link and would like to know that it's enforced whenever the news is broken on a blog or site. Believe it or not, I have found some of my news mentioned on larger sites. I'm sure most of the time it's coincidental - but I'm sure that I've been 'scooped', too. I think Scoble is simply being a very sensitive watchdog to ensure that once blogs 'make it', they don't leave the bloggers behind that helped them 'make it'. We will continue to support your site if you continue to support us. Thanks! I really appreciate the argument that Scoble brings to the table.
