What is original?

August 8th, 2007

Via Robin I found this list of "Digg clones". A funny page, because it starts with
Some of these clones are rather neat-- for example, reddit and del.icio.us
If I remember correctly, del.icio.us existed even before the founders of Digg were born (a slight exaggeration here :-) ) Those darn kids -- they always think they invented the hot water.

    That's like those kids who hear all those lame dance covers of classics on the radio and later complain that "That cover A-ha made of 'The sun always shines on tv' isn't as good as the original." A hear those comments more than I like. Too much youngsters seem to think music has been started in the 90's.

    Do you remember that professor who teached logics in our first year. He didn't invent hot water, he just forgot making lots of noise about it and publishing it. Iirc, that cost him the Nobel prize.
