Rewrite Bingo
Marco Arment, on the attribution and credit of various sites linking to and/or rewriting his piece on the App Store corrupt binaries bug.
Time for rewrite bingo! CNET's rewrite, not too bad: news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-5… The Verge's post, better: theverge.com/2012/7/4/31380…- PCMag's rewrite, including some false statements, and citing The Next Web for my app list that they copied: pcmag.com/article2/0,281…
- Mac Rumors, good: macrumors.com/2012/07/05/app… 9to5 Mac, decent linking but copied most of my post, including the whole list: 9to5mac.com/2012/07/05/app…
- Mashable was decent, adding some original reporting: mashable.com/2012/07/05/cor… Gizmodo only cites The Verge: gizmodo.com/5923545
- AppAdvice, citing The Verge as the source instead of my post: appadvice.com/appnn/2012/07/… TechMeme cites The Verge as root: techmeme.com/120704/p28#a12…
- The Next Web's rewrite: thenextweb.com/apple/2012/07/… Love the "We're getting word..." app list, copied verbatim from my post. *I'm* getting word.
- The Register rewrote: theregister.co.uk/2012/07/05/app… BGR gave TNW credit for the list: bgr.com/2012/07/05/app… ZDNet copied a lot: zdnet.com/ios-mac-app-st…
- I know I said I was done with rewrite bingo earlier, but The Guardian really did a masterful job of burying my link: guardian.co.uk/technology/201…
