NEWS: This Week in Silicon Alley (May 26-30) - News Hounds

Ed notes: Fighting for the first-hand fact gathering advantage (getting the scoop over other sources):

• Sillicon Alley Insider: Wall Street events
• Techcrunch: Silicon Valley events
• Engadget: Patents for future products
• Techdirt: User submitted rumors
• Digg: User promoted rumors

Equal access events: corporate blogs, legacy press releases, Wall Street earnings announcements. 

Technology/money-making how-to: The best methods are proprietary. Why earn pennies with blogging when true innovations can be worth millions?
