Nutty inter-blog linkage
On the top of my Google Mail (which I highly recommend), I see a headline reading Engaged – Refurbished iPhones are an excellent source of previous users’ data. I click.
Obviously that’s not the article source, so I click on the source link and come to The Unofficial Apple Weblog’s Refurb iPhones still contain previous users’ data.
That’s not the original source! I follow a link to iPhone Atlas’s Refurbished iPhones may contain other users’ personal data.
That’s not the original source! I follow a link to another iPhone Atlas article: Warning: iPhone “Restore” does not delete personal data.
That’s not the original source! I follow a link to a blog named Jonathan’s Grits ‘n Butter.
Finally, the source!
Talk about lazy amateur journalism! This is the internet. Linking to the source is easy. Why make it so difficult to find?
