I don’t know if that’s necessarily true Scott…if as you say in your article that bloggers are basically lifting stories from newspapers or their online pages, then isn’t the news still just coming from that single and being re-distributed via the bloggers?

Any reason for this? Most online news services have this ability. I would have thought it a simple way to generate more traffic back to the original site.

Surely this isn’s a myspace vs facebook thing?
