News bloggers who are competing on a minute-by-minute basis with other blogs -- such as the feverish competition among technology gadget blogs -- are always hungry for an exclusive, or at least to the get the news about a new product a few minutes before the competition.
So the next time you have a story such as this to pitch, consider giving it first to a smaller blogger, or one who's trying to build up his readership and online rankings. You'll make a friend for life, and may very well help drive traffic in a way that will benefit both you and the blogger.
This piece of wisdom is from Charlie White, Deputy Editor of DVICE.com, one of those competitors in the gadget space. DVICE.com doesn't have the traffic of some of its competitors yet, so every once and awhile, you could help Charlie and his team by giving them the excloo first.
