Tony Pierce has a great summary of how the news spread from the event they were at when it was announced (Blogoshpere) all the way through to the mainstream press who failed miserably in picking up the news. Even explaining why Blogger is such a powerful addition to Google’s news gathering efforts. The only complaint I have, is that he left me out of his list of how the news spread. I posted it 20 minutes after founder, Evan Williams, made his announcement from Blogosphere after seeing the Dan Gilmore column.
No hard feelings:-)
Also, Evan Williams offers his thoughts on the the acquisition.
