Have you seen her blog? For someone who writes about them for a living, she should be doing better than http://platypus.blogspot.com - what a complete shambles. In the big article she did on blogging last year she quoted pixelkitty wrongly in several instances, and not before she came to a blogmeet and did not reveal her credentials and then used half of what she found out there in that article without asking any of us. If someone with a blog from the ABC can turn up and reveal that he's a journo for the 8-cents company, then she could have shown the courtesy to do the same. It rankles me that someone can get paid for such a lame job and do it with such a high level of inaccuracy and stupidity. I agree - Graham has been around for ages and let's also not forget Daniel over at 'Diary of an Average Australian' (www.toxiccustard.com). His archives go back to 1994. That girl really shits me.

I agree – Graham has been around for ages and let’s also not forget Daniel over at ‘Diary of an Average Australian’ (www.toxiccustard.com). His archives go back to 1994.

I s'pose in the scheme of things what she did/did not do wasn't particularly offensive it was just that some of the information she collected she later used in that big piece, without asking any of us if she could in the first place, and misquoting those whom she did use. And I'm sorry, but if you're going to be a journo who reports on weblogs - and, might I say, clearly The Age has lost its mind if they think the Victorian readership is such that it warrants a dedicated blogs reporter that they PAY to go to overseas conferences on the topic - then at least a) get the facts right by conducting decent, thorough research and b) run a blog that looks decent, instead of one that looks like the proverbial dog's breakfast.
