Google's New Meta-Tags For News Story Authors

EreIamJH writes "Google News is experimenting with meta-tags in an effort to ensure that the correct news source is credited with an article. The original-source meta-tag will identify the newspaper that breaks a story, while syndication-source is for everyone who repeats the story. Both meta-tags can appear multiple times — for instance an article that sources information from other articles would include an original-source tag for each article used in preparing the new article. While the intention is worthy, I look forward to lots of snarky blogger fights as journalists vent their hurt feelings for having been omitted as an original source."

I break for braking news.

Braking News is what Rupert Murdoch and his multinational megacorp does, stopping it from being viewed online.

Where have all the true grammar NAZIs gone?

They're hiding out in South America.

It always makes my day when a grammar troll gets basic grammar wrong.
