The speed of blog
: Way back on Nov. 19, Hit & Run’s weblog broke the silly master/slave meme (in which a doofus California bureaucrat who should be unemployed by now sends out a memo instructing people involved with computers not to call devices masters or slaves because it violates the supreme law of the age — it’s offensive).
The story finally got picked up by the AP — and, in turn the Chicago Tribune — today.
See, guys, if you’d been reading weblogs, you could have stolen that story far sooner.
