Great minds think alike? Or something else?
Letter to Romenesko
From JEREMIAH CHRISTOPHER WHITTEN: It’s quite interesting that Josh Barrie’s post “If Shakespeare had Twitter” appeared on HuffPo less than 36 hours after my op/ed “Twitter needs Shakespeare” was published in the Minneapolis Star Tribune (online, hard copy and frequently linked in Twitter). A different piece, yes, but perhaps the inspiration was unacknowledged or, perchance, borrowed. I’m not sure, but it’s quite a coincidence.
Josh, care to respond? (Post here or send me an email.)

Plug “Shakespeare” and “Twitter” into a search engine, and you’ll see that both of these guys are a few years too late to claim any originality.
