'The Daily' Already Plagued by Rogue Tumblr Accounts

The Daily, Daily
'The Daily' is just over 24 hours old, yet it has already inspired at least two unsanctioned Tumblr accounts. While 'The Daily' has an official Tumblr that will offer analysis of stories and interviews with staff members, 'The Daily, Daily' takes potshots at the new tablet-only news outlet, and creator Rupert Murdoch's insistence that 'The Daily' represents the future of media. The Daily: Indexed skips the mocking and goes straight for the jugular, undermining 'The Daily's' paywall by posting stories from the publication for free. The workaround is simple enough to execute: most of the publication's articles have a unique URL so that they can be shared on Twitter or Facebook. The Daily: Indexed simply reposts those URLs. We're sure the site won't last for very long.
