Bloggers short-shrifted, again...

The Times is all over the Google story, but a) reads it as an assault on BT (!), b) makes reference to a mythical Japanese company called Softband (that one got me), and c) omits to say that the blogosphere got there first. The Google job posting is casually presented in passing, the implication to the uninformed reader being that it is a Times scoop. Then again, I guess you don't want to legitimize a medium which has the potential to eat your lunch...
