John Hiler complains about the bloggers stealing his story. Schmuck. It's the other way around. All the epiphanies he's been having and expressing so well, are in the archives of the blogs he writes about. Sheez. I like a newbie as much as anyone, but not one who complains about losing control of ideas he didn't originate. Same old shit. Next thing we'll see a "history" of weblogs that begins with John Hiler. Hehe.  [Scripting News] He's not complaining about bloggers stealing his story, he's just talking about how he was caught off guard by the fact that bloggers anticipated all the points in his follow-up story before he had a chance to publish the story. His point, as I read it, is that regular journalists are going to have to adapt to the speed at which blog-journalism can react and to the depth of blog-type commentary. If anything, I thought he was excited about the prospect of the future integration of blogs and conventional journalism. 7:47:15 PM
