I just got a link from Rocketboom!

Earlier today I suggested to Rocketboom that they read my post, higher gas prices are exactly what we need, and they ended up linking to it from today's show. It's the most exciting thing that's happened to The New Vernacular since I started it last year.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Rocketboom is a video blog, or "vlog", from New York that produces a short segment each weekday dealing with all sorts of news topics, from the highly important to the geeky and inane. Basically, all the stuff I care about.

Here are some articles that go into more detail about the Rocketboom phenomenon:

'Rocketboom' may be future of TV news (ABC)

'Vlogger' cyber-culls the news (CBS)
