Fairly boring commentary from an oversensitive, emotionally demanding computer nerd (with a not-so brand-new 4-year-old, and two cats)

Is there a word for ...
1. Posting a link to something that's been posted many times before, but making it sound like you are the first person to discover it (lots of people get accused of on Slashdot, but what do you call it?) (and yes, my last post was a much posted link, although I did admit that it was, at least). 2. Quoting very old information in an online article, without checking to see if it is still correct. (You can do this in print too, but it is worse online not only because you should be easily able to recheck the info, and at least correct something after it is found to be wrong). 3. Blogs that are almost entirely del.icio.us links (as opposed to this blog, which has almost no content of any kind).Posted by markj at August 20, 2005 10:46 PM
