Yahoo blogger plagiarizes popular website Digg.com...what do you think?

A story titled "7 Confessions of a Cingular Sales Rep" was submitted to Digg on March 5th.

Lo and behold, on March 6th, some Yahoo blogger rips off the story idea and writes "Eight Cell Phone Sales Tips from a Sales Rep", and it even cites the SAME SOURCE as the original Digg story.

To date the story has almost 2000 Diggs, and since then a few similar stories were submitted on Digg substituting different cell providers, showing the popularity of the story. Then some YAHOO (pun intended) blogger comes along and reproduces it like it's an original idea.





Does anyone else think that this is as wrong as I do?

You don't read very well do you. According to digg.com they got the story from the consumerist.com.





So what you are saying is Digg.com was the first to copy the story from the consumerist.com.
