@Mike Butcher,

I’m not sure if AP is clear on this issue themselves…perhaps they’re a little too bureaucratic for their own good. But I found this today which looks on surface to counter their stance:

I just went to an AP story atop which there was a link entitled “Post.”

When I clicked it, I got this:

“Post this article on your website, blog, social networking page, or intranet for a limited time, free of charge, with ads.”

What am I missing? Is the “limited time” (which I think is 30 days) the issue?

Mike, Someone on Techcrunch US suggested you were like a British version of Chandler Bing. I have to say the resemblance is uncanny, both in look, demeanour and wit. Made me laugh I have to say, just thought I’d share it with you in case you missed it.

@Murky – Precisely why AP arguing over 39 words being quoted on a social news site (Drudge Retort) does such a huge disservice to those excellent journos who put their lives on the line to get a story they want to world to hear about, discuss and link to. And we are not going to do that if the AP wants forms in triplicate to discuss its work.

Ooooo don’t you look good on the telly.

Seriously though AP=mental. Doubt there bothered about link backs because it appears they don’t think that it’s important. Oh well.

“Payback sucks?” Really? I love TechCrunch…but you’re talking about a global media organisation, mate. Specifically the one who sends reporters into places like Gaza, Iraq and Afghanistan in the form of APTN cameramen.

Well said, Mike! Clearly the old media is starting to shake in its trousers, fearing that blogging, what was once a wee little trend they dismissed, is turning into a fair sized competitor. And hey ho, one with more ethics (generally) than old media.

You got “banana” in this time, next time “milkshake”?

So are “illegitimate bloggers” just b***ards who don’t link to their sources:

Anyway, I’m sure that this is all just AP linkbait?

Excellent interview.

Well, the main idea was to get the word banana in. Had a lot of requests on that from Twitter. It’s an important issue, right? Bananas?
