Giving James Corbett proper credit

I have a feeling that 'feed grazing' is going to catch on, both the term and the underlying idea of reading feeds based on continually changing OPML files. Since the origin of common phrases is often a source of controversy, I wanted to nail this one down before everyone is using it. Danny Ayers' reported it as appearing in a comment on his blog from James Corbett on February 6th, which is true, but the better and earlier source is a post James made on his own EirePreneur blog on January 31st. I also discovered that James coined the term "river of feeds" on his blog two days before I used it on my mashup blog. Damn. I was feeling so good about coming up with that. Anyway, it is good to set the record straight. Now everyone will know where to look when the Wikipedia article is written.

As long as I'm pointing to James' blog, let me link to one more great post in which he compares Steve Gillmor to James Joyce.
