I continue to be fascinated with how the Kryptos story is being disseminated around the world from the recent articles. When the WSJ front-page article came out, it was in a "subscription-only" section of the WSJ site. The only link to it via Google News, was on the Pittsburgh Post Gazette site, which had it verbatim. But the UK Guardian piece that ran in their Saturday paper is public, and is being picked up in interesting places. They all seem to be taking the exact text, though sometimes they'll change the headline. Six different sites have picked it up so far, in vastly different parts of the world. I wonder which ones are swiping the Guardian article, and which ones are swiping from one of the other "upstreams". A check of Google News this morning:
Guardian Unlimited, UK - Jun 10, 2005 (the original piece)
Headline: "Interest grows in solving cryptic CIA puzzle after link to Da Vinci Code"
