Press Clip Quotes from Sun CTO’s New Blog

Jim Griziano notes that Greg Papadopoulos, Sun’s CTO, is now blogging. Already eWeek is picking up quotes directly off Greg’s blog.

Jim calls this “cut and paste journalism.” We had a similar experience with Bob Liodice’s blog. He’s the Chairman and CEO of the ANA. The press also pull quotes from his blog as well. See a trend here?

Clip from Jim’s post:

“eWeek picked up on Greg’s blog and wrote an utterly fascinating article — Sun CTO: New License Protects Developer Rights.

… This is all very confusing, isn’t it? All this cutting and pasting and recycling of parts to artificially create a debate across time that simply never took place. Interesting choices the writers and editors at eWeek are making these days, don’t you think? I wonder, what agenda is eWeek pushing here?”
