An Electronic Handshake - a blogger discusses the importance of giving credit to the blog who published the story first:"I recently saw it happen with a blog that posted a really hot link to a good story. Then I saw the story pop-up on very different places, of which you could tell they all quoted or congratulated the second source, 'the thief', and nobody every knew about the original blogger who actually was the first one to bring this story up.
The same quotes, but no link to the messenger, just to the source.
That's just not right. It's selfish.
It's all about the electronic handshake. It's all about saying 'yo man, thanks! I'm blogging this!' or 'Good job!"
