Blogs in the news

The old gray lady, she ain't what she used to be: the venerable New York Times has an article on blogs: Dating a Blogger, Reading All About It. (You have to have an account, but it's free and I've never gotten spammed from it.)



Quote:

The proliferation of personal bloggers has led to a new social anxiety: the fear of getting blogged.



"It's personal etiquette meets journalistic rules," Mr. Denton, the blog publisher, said. "If you have a friend who's a blogger you have to say, `This is not for blogging.' It's the blogging equivalent of `This is off the record.' "

I like the phrase: "Oh no! I've been blogged!"
