USA Today does a really good job with their technology stories. They really understand what is happening in telecom and other areas of technology and their reporters deserve a lot of credit. I recently added USA Today to my RSS reader and was blown away with the recent story I read titled Rebuilt New Orleans could be cutting edge. The general idea is that New Orleans can be a model city with fiber and IP and VoIP to every home.

It is always fun to scoop a big newspaper. I wrote the same exact thing almost 2 weeks ago in a blog entry titled Katrina’s Silver Lining.

I didn’t even get called as a source or quoted. Well if you read my post, it wasn’t really my idea anyway but it is still fun to get a scoop and also to be almost two weeks ahead of the next person.
