CNET & 43things: User Interfaces Separated at Birth?
Picked up by Steve Rubel... Impersonation is the highest form a flattery, they say. If that's true then the folks at 43things.com should feel good about C|NET taking their lead by tagging stories. A ripoff of sorts but still a pretty cool way to look at story trending. This would make a good diagram for PR firms reporting to their clients what's going on with that pitch they're working on. Here's an image from 43things followed by C|NET's version. Click on them to enlarge.

43Things is great, but the idea didn't come from there. Several other sites have been contributing to this meme for longer. The News.com tags are editor-applied.
