online snowball causes misinformation regarding israel.com

Yesterday I reported that the domain name israel.com was sold for 5.88 million USD. Today I was contacted by a spokesperson on behalf of Moniker and notified that the domain name israel.com was not sold and is still on sale (please contact moniker.com for info).

What is interesting in this case is that I attained the story from a leading online news site in Israel and decided to post it in English and share it with my digg community. I guess that even sometimes leading online news sites get their facts wrong and must be checked by the blog community before spreading the news further into the web.
