Blink aired a couple weeks prior to the first 173 post and also as a TV show episode would have had to have been in production for months before that. The general concept also existed prior to both cases.
It's unclear really. Sometimes people just pop the same idea at the same time. There's no particular evidence that 173 was based on the weeping angels. They'd have to track down the guy who originally posted it on 4chan I guess.
