Haha, I should write a blog post about my beef with Science Daily, but to make a long story short, they do pretty much the same thing I do as far as posting press releases. The difference is that they post EVERYTHING that is released and then they take complete credit for the press release. If you look at the bottom of each Science Daily article, it says something like: "This story was written by science daily based on materials provided by 'Insert institution.'" This would be great if they actually wrote a story based on the release, but they don't, it's a word for word reprint!
**Update**Just checked the verbage they use, and they changed it, slightly. They're still scum bags as far as I'm concerned :P

Ah, yeah, I just thought those two were interesting but I usually try to stay away from Science Daily.

Ok, first of all, yes, they are word for word the exact same thing as the press release, so that is total bs.
Second, if there IS a labspaces post, I always opt for it, its just that Im in a very different time zone, and when I happen to be on posting stuff, if yours hasnt updated yet, and theirs has, I just hit the RT button, but I do try to post links to here. You know where my allegiance lies! Which is one up on both the US and Israel.. who both dont want to give me a security clearance the whole dual citizenship thing.. :)

Evie, we could try that out. It's very similar to doing a blog post, you just have to get the formatting right :)
