Here's yet another shining example of how the blogosphere helps drive the news agenda.
Last week Verizon Wireless introduced a music service for cell phones called V Cast Music. Shortly thereafter, word began to bubble in blogs that the included software would disable users' ability to play their own MP3s on these phones. A couple of days later, it's on AP and now everyone knows what started as Verizon's "dirty little secret." Ignore the blogs at your peril.
