I agree with your points, but it's also about how fast misinformation can spread, and how quickly I've seen people mis-quoted, and then subsequently blamed for spreading incorrect facts that they never even said in the first place. All I can think is that it seems like a bad thing right now... but in a few months it may make individual sources stronger, because that trust relationship is going to become even more important as a result.

As for "giving credit": Because the blogosphere is getting so big, some things are lying in the air. Somebody like Chris may receive a real scoop, but others at the same time can draw conclusions. And so they post what they found out "without" giving credit.

I don't think it exists, nor matters, in the blogosphere. As others have pointed out, the blogosphere is a conversation. Do you know of anyone who cares who started the conversation? I can't imagine, for one second, talking to anyone who wanted to discuss who deserved credit for starting a conversation on a particular subject. Its the size of the contribution to the conversation that matters. i.e. I don't care who start the conversation on Podcasting, but I do care about who is making a measurable and useful contribution to that conversation. I thought people would have had this figured out by now. Just my contribution...;) -ross The “scoop” is an artifact of the press. I don't think it exists, nor matters, in the blogosphere.
