Way To Steal
Apparently Mashable is stealing content from other blogs now. Because it just so happens that I wrote a similar post on the 11th, mentioned Mashable, and even sent them the link in an email:
to: mashable@gmail.com, Jan. 11, 2008 12:40PM (EST)
from: brady.k@gmail.com
subject: Mentioned
Just thought I’d let you know you were mentioned, I’ll leave in what “light” up to you to decide, in a long rant of a blog post this morning:
Way to steal, people. It really makes you seem more professional and legitimate.
[You can find my comment on their post here...but they'll probably delete it soon]

Update: I got an email, and a comment below, from Pete at Mashable, and then a comment on the Mashable post itself from Paul, assuring me that they did not plagarize my ideas, and that my email probably didn’t even get to Paul (the author’s) inbox, as he doesn’t have a Mashable account yet (he’s new, apparently).
Despite how odd it is to have the same idea come up within two days of each other, of such a polarizing and obscure nature, I’m going to take Peter and Paul (hahah… ok, sorry) at their word, in the spirit of a friendly (and hopefully beneficial) future for both of us, and consider this a giant coincidence, with the issue resolved / closed.
