MIT News Scraping?

Last week I posted an entry in Andy's Blog about an article on the Technology Research News website about an article they wrote on a search engine that is suppose to be integrated into the domain name system for the internet. This would put all domains, meta data about them and contents of their sites in one large database for search and retrieval.

The article was good but now it's been regurgitated, nearly a week later at an MIT publication. What's up with that? I thought MIT is the best and brightest. Well, wait a second. They are the best and brightest in the technical field. I forgot that they really aren't the best and brightest in the journalistic field.

Anyway, I'm being too hard on them. The fact that this search engine is getting attention in multiple places is worthy of a mention anyway.
