In December I posted about how I though blogs were changing the way urban legends spread.

This week, John Schwartz wrote an excellent piece (3 January NY Times, Myths Run Wild in Blog Tsunami Debate) that covered a similar topic. Headline nothwithstanding (a few bloggers were upset about it), one conclusion of the article was that even though myths and untruths were out in the blogosphere after the tsunami, there was a tendency for the truth to come out and the blogosphere (mostly) self-corrected.

Xeni Jardin of Boing-Boing was interviewed for the piece. Here’s the link to her comments on Boing Boing afterward and to the original NYT story.
