Via via via ...

Where does information come from on the Internet? Most likely from the air. If you take any article and follow the links (if of course they are), then the chance to return to the start again is very large.

We take the latest article from Habr ( Google launched the site of statistics ) Today is September 15, 2009 from the birth of Christ.

Step 1

')
There is an honest reference to the source, with an indication of a specific article.
Link Try not to write from where you put up the text, by lunchtime, the author’s carcass will fall in the area of ​​“fleshy posts”.

Step 2

Link

Anna Lesenyuk having woken up in the morning and sat down at a computer, began to surf the net beyond the bread. She again for dinner (this is a fateful date) need to kick on the Internet of the latest news. Especially appreciated in such work, news from foreign sites, from where they are already multiplying around the Internet and due to translation may be distorted to the contrary. If Anna spent more than 5 minutes on 1 news, then the site was not filled with button accordions a week ago.

The link is also affixed, but this is most likely just the fulfillment of duties than the rule.

Step 3

Link

And the battle continues again ... The site refers to a certain person who, in his “cozy day”, shared a find, for which his site thanks him (without forgetting to create content). The article is by the way subjected to rewriting and practically has nothing in common with the original. It can be seen the site is rich enough to afford a good rewriting. The gap between the “first seen” and the publication was not more than 3 days. Rather, 1 day from the moment the editor saw the post to which he referred.

Step 4

Link

Oh my God. Again not the author. But almost. The guy just saw the link from other people and looked at it. The time from appearance to epiphany is 2 days.

The final

At the 5th step, it finally became clear that the first link was seen by a certain Jamie Riddell , who shared it with her. Walking on the Internet, on September 7th of this year, the guy beat the Statistics website into Google’s bookmarks. I was not too lazy to even put down the tags, which most likely found the site.

Of course, this path is not unique. Perhaps this news has a few more options (press release, developer blog) appearances in runet, but most of the content on our Internet is just copying and translation (not always true). The result is not very good: Runet is one big copy-paste from the English part of Ineta. I am glad that there are still authors on Habrahabr who write wonderful reviews, but do not copy, what has already been copied was copied and copied.
