Nothing like this has happened to me as i am so young, but i have seen this happening to others like Andy Beard. I dont think there could exist a blogger who does not pick a story from elsewhere, but some how most of them have a problem in proper attribution. Vivek this is also to let you know that i read you regularly and love you more than the more established guys out there. Some days back i also searched for your blog on technorati but couldnt find it. Please claim your blog on technorati immediately, cant wait to add it to my favorites.

Some of the so called bigger blogs just plagiarize my ideas and original stories and publish them as their own and get onto the top of the memes. Aside from looking for a team to build such a solution that will put an end to this farce, I am going to start picking up on those who can't control their itch without thanking the people they copy from.

What I would prefer is that when I report exclusive stories that at least I would get a mention. Some of the news stories I break don't gain any links at all, yet I know they are being read by people able to make the news more widespread. Hell some of the stories I wish someone would plagiarise just so the information gets disseminated, because it can be important.

All blogs had to be tracked which will be impossible I guess. Also I think memetrackers are not to blame as they are (supposedly) looking for stories which have sparked discussion already. Usually the big blogs are first to look. If they have the story, others have it, too, or will follow -> me-too blog posts. Even the big tech blogs are responsible for it. The recent launch of Highrise being a perfect example. Many just posted screenshots from the Highrise tour and didn't get into much detail because they presumably just took the tour and not signed up. It seems to be a race to have the big story first, or at least have it within a few others. No time to dig deeper. I am probably responsible for me-too blogging as well but sometimes I wonder if it's worth subscribing to all those blogs when it was sufficient to read Techmeme.
