			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This post is just to show how an A-list blog can ignite fire across the blogosphere about a rumor or a mistake .  The all-powerful and popular <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/04/11/google-launching-todo-list-product/">TechCrunch posted about possible launch of Google to-do list product</a>.  The post referenced a screenshot sent by one of the TechCrunch reader, <a href="http://www.gasteroprod.com/blog/bientot-des-listes-de-taches-to-do-list-dans-google-docs.html">Nicolas Hoizey</a>, which showed a to-do list posted on the Official Google Docs Blog by Andrew Chang who is a Marketing Manager at Google.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-docs-blog-to-do-list.jpg"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-docs-blog-to-do-list-thumb.jpg" style="border: 0px none " alt="google docs blog to do list" border="0" height="235" width="387" /></a></p>
<p>Now see how the blogging world reacted to this post:</p>
<p>First of all, the post made it to <a href="http://www.techmeme.com/080411/p30#a080411p30">Techmeme</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-techmeme.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-techmeme-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list techmeme" border="0" height="128" width="385" /></a></p>
<p>Then the fire spreads to <a href="http://webworkerdaily.com/2008/04/11/will-google-launch-a-task-manager/">WebWorker Daily</a>, <a href="http://www.texasstartupblog.com/2008/04/11/google-takes-aim-at-37-signals/">Texas Startup Blog</a> and <a href="http://www.marketingpilgrim.com/2008/04/google-todo-list-coming-soon.html">Marketing Pilgrim</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-web-worker-daily.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-web-worker-daily-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list web worker daily" border="0" height="195" width="386" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-texas-startup-blog.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-texas-startup-blog-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list texas startup blog" border="0" height="203" width="386" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-marketing-pilgrim.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-marketing-pilgrim-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list Marketing Pilgrim" border="0" height="263" width="388" /></a></p>
<p>And the now the others also jump into the discussion and speculation.  So now we have a blog asking to <a href="http://blog.jemm.net/2008/04/11/stop-the-presses-google-may-be-onto-something/">stop the press for Google may be releasing something</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-stop-the-press.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-stop-the-press-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list stop the press" border="0" height="233" width="386" /></a></p>
<p>The other calling the <a href="http://productivefirefox.com/2008/04/11/google-to-do-list-imminent/">to-do list an imminent product from Google</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-imminent.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-imminent-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list imminent" border="0" height="278" width="377" /></a></p>
<p>Then came the <a href="http://www.ewanspence.com/blog/2008/04/11/not-too-simple-a-task-please-google/">suggestions for Google to keep the to-do list simple</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-suggestions.png"><img src="http://www.betadaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/google-to-do-list-suggestions-thumb.png" style="border: 0px none " alt="google to do list suggestions" border="0" height="241" width="383" /></a></p>
<p>And further announcements from other blogs like <a href="http://gokubi.com/archives/google-todo-lists">Gokubi</a>, <a href="http://industryinteractive.net/ideas/why-google-announcements-are-exciting/">Industry Interactive Inc</a>, and <a href="http://theweeklyreview.ca/2008/04/11/google-to-do/">The Weekly Review</a>.</p>
<p>This is just a sample of all the posts that would be featuring possibility, speculations and suggestions for the Google to-do list.  Now comes the end of this entire story cooked up in the blogosphere.  The post mentioned in the screenshot which started everything is deleted from the Google Docs Blog and Andrew Chang posts a new entry mentioning how he <a href="http://googledocs.blogspot.com/2008/04/posting-to-blog-is-bit-too-easy.html">accidentally published his own weekend to-do list</a> and how easy it is to create, edit and post a blog entry using Google Docs.</p>
<p>Does blogging need to be more thoughtful than just breaking news?  I think yes.</p>
<p>Sorry Mike.  I still enjoy your posts and love reading TechCrunch.</p>
