in Big gadget sites don’t link to blogs (I went overboard, read updates) on Scobleizer
I'll reiterate: we link to other blogs ALL the time. To describe as having a policy of not linking to other blogs is absurd and inaccurate. And we don't only link to other blogs, we also link to newspaper articles, press releases, product pages, forum posts, etc.
What Scoble wrote is patently unfair and completely misrepresents the reality of the situation. This isn't an us vs. them situation because we have always linked to blogs and will always do so. The fact that I even have to make a point of this is silly, since anyone who reads the site will see that we link to other blogs all the time.

I get it now. Basically you spammed the comments of a bunch of blogs and you're upset that some sites either deleted what you did or didn't incorporate your link into a post. Really weak.

This is ABSURD. We link to blogs every single day of the week. Just because we didn't link to YOUR particular video you've decided that somehow we never link to blogs? This is ridiculously petty and I think you owe us an apology.

I've got this liveblogging thing down, but what I really need to work on is my posture.
Good hanging with you today!

in “The ‘New’ Plagiarism” on Plagiarism Today
Your characterization of Engadget is completely 100% wrong. We write every single post ourselves and very rarely quote someone else. When we do, we make it very clear that it is a blockquote and not our own words.
I'd appreciate a correction.

Yeah, we made a mistake. It’s our policy to always credit and link back to our sources, and in this case we made in error in judgment combined with a misunderstanding about the source of the image (we mistakenly thought that DAPreview watermarked a photo that wasn’t theirs — clearly that was not the case).
Regardless, I take full responsibility for the mistake and that this will not happen again. We do a 1000 posts a month and occassionally we do screw up.
To be clear, we did NOT plagiarize, at worst we failed to properly credit and infringed on DAPreview's image copyright.

Yep, we're in sort of a quiet period right now. Last month was the big CeBIT and CTIA shows and next month is E3, so April is traditionally a pretty slow month for gadget news.
