Exploring Digital Cultures W12: The Wikipedia DebateNoNeedforInk
Week 12 Wikipedia-centric presentation on:
-Clay Shirky's Personal Motivation Meets Collaborative Production
-Andrew Keen's Cult of the Amateur
This presentation walks through Shirky's points, explaining how Wikipedia is held as the ideal model of collaborative production in today's Web 2.0 world. However, it also goes beyond the readings in introducing the WikiScanner and all it has uncovered. This implies that the real issue may not be what Keen calls the "endless digital forest of mediocrity", but the fact that "Wikipedia entries are being used as a medium for corporate propaganda".
Social media offers opportunities for youth development through collaboration and sharing. It allows anyone to publish information, write about topics, and connect with others through blogs, microblogging sites like Twitter, social networking sites, and video sharing sites. Blogs in particular let users easily write about any topic and join conversations. While social media is growing rapidly, with billions of blogs and active social media users, it provides a platform for self-expression, advocacy, and uniting people for causes.

Comcast Social Media Conference - Facebook Opening RemarksEric Weaver
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, USA - August 20, 2009 - These are my portion of the opening remarks for the Comcast Social Media Conference held at Bell Harbor. It is meant to be a VERY high-level overview of Facebook for the uninitiated.
How networked individuals can develop a Fifth Estate and support a war FOR information in Ukraine. Talk given over Skype to the Free Journalism School, Kiev, Ukraine, 29 October 2015.
Micro-blogging allows users to write brief text updates of up to 140 characters and publish them publicly through social media sites or privately through instant messaging. It originated from personalized away messages on instant messaging services and evolved to include social media status updates. Twitter was introduced in 2007 and helped popularize micro-blogging by allowing people to express themselves through short messages.
Social Media … why it matters, how it can enrich your life, and ways it might even help you do your job better
We’ll discuss facebook, del.icio.us, twitter, flickr, google apps, netvibes, etc – what they are and why they’re worth your time. Facebook is more than just poking, del.icio.us is more than just bookmarking, flickr is more than just photos ... there’s more than meets the eye to practically everything in social media.
Facebook is a social networking website launched in 2004. It allows users to create profiles, add other users as friends, exchange messages, and receive updates about others. Originally limited to Harvard students, it expanded to other colleges and universities before opening to high school and then all users aged 13 and older. It has over 500 million active users and is one of the most visited websites worldwide.
The document discusses the concepts of Web 2.0 and how it relates to education and pedagogy. It describes key aspects of Web 2.0 like wikis, blogs, social networking sites, tagging, and user-generated content. It also discusses how these Web 2.0 technologies can be applied in educational contexts through blogging, wikis, social objects, and RSS feeds. Challenges of privacy in blogging are also mentioned. The document advocates taking advantage of Web 2.0's emphasis on collaboration, participation and user-generated content to develop new pedagogical approaches.
This document discusses the history and rise of social media. It describes how the term "Web 2.0" emerged in the early 2000s to represent a shift from static websites to more interactive experiences allowing user participation and user-generated content.

Trend Blog—The 20th Anniversary of the BlogScott Raynor
1) Justin Hall created the first blog in 1994 as a personal diary of his life and struggles. Over 20 years blogs have evolved from personal essays into major publishing and marketing platforms.
2) Early blogs allowed readers to follow personal lives in detail. Platforms like Blogger and WordPress then democratized blogging by allowing anyone to create blogs without coding skills.
3) By the 2000s, blogs became mainstream sources of news and monetized through ads. Microblogging platforms like Tumblr popularized sharing of images, videos and links. Today, blogs remain important tools for sharing stories despite increased competition from social media.
Cyber journalism, also known as online or digital journalism, refers to journalistic content created and distributed via the internet. It has several advantages over traditional print and broadcast media, such as lower distribution costs, more opportunities for interaction and discussion, and new ways of storytelling using multimedia. However, online journalism also faces challenges including potential accuracy issues from speed of publication and verifying the credibility of sources.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes.

A blog (a truncation of the expression web log)[1] is a discussion or informational site published on
the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse
chronological order (the most recent post appears first). Until 2009 blogs were usually the work of a
single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject. More recently
"multi-author blogs" (MABs) have developed, with posts written by large numbers of authors and
professionally edited. MABs from newspapers, other media outlets, universities, think tanks,
advocacy groups and similar institutions account for an increasing quantity of blog traffic. The rise
of Twitter and other "microblogging" systems helps integrate MABs and single-author blogs into
societal newstreams. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.
The emergence and growth of blogs in the late 1990s coincided with the advent of web publishing
tools that facilitated the posting of content by non-technical users. (Previously, a knowledge of such
technologies as HTML and FTP had been required to publish content on the Web.)
A majority are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via GUI
widgets on the blogs, and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.[2]
In that sense, blogging can be seen as a form of social networking service. Indeed, bloggers do not
only produce content to post on their blogs, but also build social relations with their readers and
other bloggers.[3] There are high-readership blogs which do not allow comments, such as Daring
Fireball.
Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online
diaries; others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A
typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to
its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important
contribution to the popularity of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus
on art (art blogs), photographs (photoblogs), videos (video blogs or "vlogs"), music (MP3 blogs), and
audio (podcasts). Microblogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts. In education,
blogs can be used as instructional resources. These blogs are referred to as edublogs.
On 16 February 2011[update], there were over 156 million public blogs in existence.[4] On 13
October 2012, there were around 77 million Tumblr[5] and 56.6 million WordPress[6] blogs in
existence worldwide. According to critics and other bloggers, Blogger is the most popular blogging
2. service used today.[7][8]

History
Early example of a "diary" style blog consisting of text and
images transmitted wirelessly in real time from a wearable computer with head-up display, 22
February 1995Main articles: History of blogging and online diary
The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger[9] on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog", was
coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar
of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.[10][11][12] Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra
Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog", meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to
one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product,
leading to the popularization of the terms.[13]
Origins
Before blogging became popular, digital communities took many forms, including Usenet,
commercial online services such as GEnie, BiX and the early CompuServe, e-mail lists[14] and
Bulletin Board Systems (BBS). In the 1990s, Internet forum software, created running conversations
with "threads". Threads are topical connections between messages on a virtual "corkboard".
From 14 June 1993 Mosaic Communications Corporation maintained their "What's New"[15] list of
new websites, updated daily and archived monthly. The page was accessible by a special "What's
New" button in the Mosaic web browser.
The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their
personal lives. Most such writers called themselves diarists, journalists, or journalers. Justin Hall,
who began personal blogging in 1994 while a student at Swarthmore College, is generally
recognized as one of the earlier bloggers,[16] as is Jerry Pournelle.[17]Dave Winer's Scripting News
is also credited with being one of the older and longer running weblogs.[18][19] The Australian
Netguide magazine maintained the Daily Net News[20] on their web site from 1996. Daily Net News
ran links and daily reviews of new websites, mostly in Australia. Another early blog was Wearable
Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life combining text, video, and
pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to a web site in 1994. This
practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred to as
3. sousveillance, and such journals were also used as evidence in legal matters.
Early blogs were simply manually updated components of common Web sites. However, the
evolution of tools to facilitate the production and maintenance of Web articles posted in reverse
chronological order made the publishing process feasible to a much larger, less technical,
population. Ultimately, this resulted in the distinct class of online publishing that produces blogs we
recognize today. For instance, the use of some sort of browser-based software is now a typical
aspect of "blogging". Blogs can be hosted by dedicated blog hosting services, or they can be run
using blog software, or on regular web hosting services.
Some early bloggers, such as The Misanthropic Bitch, who began in 1997, actually referred to their
online presence as a zine, before the term blog entered common usage.
Rise in popularity
After a slow start, blogging rapidly gained in popularity. Blog usage spread during 1999 and the
years following, being further popularized by the near-simultaneous arrival of the first hosted blog
tools:
Bruce Ableson launched Open Diary in October 1998, which soon grew to thousands of online
diaries. Open Diary innovated the reader comment, becoming the first blog community where
readers could add comments to other writers' blog entries.Brad Fitzpatrick started LiveJournal in
March 1999.Andrew Smales created Pitas.com in July 1999 as an easier alternative to maintaining a
"news page" on a Web site, followed by Diaryland in September 1999, focusing more on a personal
diary community.[21]Evan Williams and Meg Hourihan (Pyra Labs) launched Blogger.com in August
1999 (purchased by Google in February 2003)
Political impactSee also: Political blog
On 6 December 2002, Josh
Marshall's talkingpointsmemo.com blog called attention to U.S. Senator Lott's comments regarding
Senator Thurmond. Senator Lott was eventually to resign his Senate leadership position over the
matter.
An early milestone in the rise in importance of blogs came in 2002, when many bloggers focused on
comments by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott.[22] Senator Lott, at a party honoring U.S.
Senator Strom Thurmond, praised Senator Thurmond by suggesting that the United States would
have been better off had Thurmond been elected president. Lott's critics saw these comments as a
tacit approval of racial segregation, a policy advocated by Thurmond's 1948 presidential campaign.
4. This view was reinforced by documents and recorded interviews dug up by bloggers. (See Josh
Marshall's Talking Points Memo.) Though Lott's comments were made at a public event attended by
the media, no major media organizations reported on his controversial comments until after blogs
broke the story. Blogging helped to create a political crisis that forced Lott to step down as majority
leader.
Similarly, blogs were among the driving forces behind the "Rathergate" scandal. To wit: (television
journalist) Dan Rather presented documents (on the CBS show 60 Minutes) that conflicted with
accepted accounts of President Bush's military service record. Bloggers declared the documents to
be forgeries and presented evidence and arguments in support of that view. Consequently, CBS
apologized for what it said were inadequate reporting techniques (see Little Green Footballs). Many
bloggers view this scandal as the advent of blogs' acceptance by the mass media, both as a news
source and opinion and as means of applying political pressure.[original research?]
The impact of these stories gave greater credibility to blogs as a medium of news dissemination.
Though often seen as partisan gossips,[citation needed] bloggers sometimes lead the way in bringing
key information to public light, with mainstream media having to follow their lead. More often,
however, news blogs tend to react to material already published by the mainstream media.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of experts blogged, making blogs a source of in-depth
analysis.[original research?]
In Russia, some political bloggers have started to challenge the dominance of official,
overwhelmingly pro-government media. Bloggers such as Rustem Adagamov and Alexei Navalny
have many followers and the latter's nickname for the ruling United Russia party as the "party of
crooks and thieves" and been adopted by anti-regime protesters.[23] This led to the Wall Street
Journal calling Navalny "the man Vladimir Putin fears most" in March 2012.[24]
Mainstream popularity
By 2004, the role of blogs became increasingly mainstream, as political consultants, news services,
and candidates began using them as tools for outreach and opinion forming. Blogging was
established by politicians and political candidates to express opinions on war and other issues and
cemented blogs' role as a news source. (See Howard Dean and Wesley Clark.) Even politicians not
actively campaigning, such as the UK's Labour Party's MP Tom Watson, began to blog to bond with
constituents.
In January 2005, Fortune magazine listed eight bloggers whom business people "could not ignore":
Peter Rojas, Xeni Jardin, Ben Trott, Mena Trott, Jonathan Schwartz, Jason Goldman, Robert Scoble,
and Jason Calacanis.[25]
Israel was among the first national governments to set up an official blog.[26] Under David Saranga,
the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs became active in adopting Web 2.0 initiatives, including an
official video blog[26] and a political blog.[27] The Foreign Ministry also held a microblogging press
conference via Twitter about its war with Hamas, with Saranga answering questions from the public
in common text-messaging abbreviations during a live worldwide press conference.[28] The
questions and answers were later posted on IsraelPolitik, the country's official political blog.[29]
The impact of blogging upon the mainstream media has also been acknowledged by governments. In
2009, the presence of the American journalism industry had declined to the point that several
newspaper corporations were filing for bankruptcy, resulting in less direct competition between
newspapers within the same circulation area. Discussion emerged as to whether the newspaper
industry would benefit from a stimulus package by the federal government. U.S. President Barack
5. Obama acknowledged the emerging influence of blogging upon society by saying "if the direction of
the news is all blogosphere, all opinions, with no serious fact-checking, no serious attempts to put
stories in context, then what you will end up getting is people shouting at each other across the void
but not a lot of mutual understanding".[30]
Types
There are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content, but also in the way
that content is delivered or written.
Personal blogsThe personal blog is an ongoing diary or commentary written by an
individual.MicrobloggingMicroblogging is the practice of posting small pieces of digital content-which could be text, pictures, links, short videos, or other media--on the Internet. Microblogging
offers a portable communication mode that feels organic and spontaneous to many and has captured
the public imagination. Friends use it to keep in touch, business associates use it to coordinate
meetings or share useful resources, and celebrities and politicians (or their publicists) microblog
about concert dates, lectures, book releases, or tour schedules. A wide and growing range of add-on
tools enables sophisticated updates and interaction with other applications, and the resulting
profusion of functionality is helping to define new possibilities for this type of communication.[31]
Examples of these include Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and by far the largest WeiBo.Corporate and
organizational blogsA blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs
used internally to enhance the communication and culture in a corporation or externally for
marketing, branding or public relations purposes are called corporate blogs. Similar blogs for clubs
and societies are called club blogs, group blogs, or by similar names; typical use is to inform
members and other interested parties of club and member activities.By genreSome blogs focus on a
particular subject, such as political blogs, health blogs, travel blogs (also known as travelogs),
gardening blogs, house blogs,[32][33]fashion blogs, project blogs, education blogs, niche blogs,
classical music blogs, quizzing blogs and legal blogs (often referred to as a blawgs) or dreamlogs.
Two common types of genre blogs are art blogs and music blogs. A blog featuring discussions
especially about home and family is not uncommonly called a mom blog and one made popular is by
Erica Diamond who created Womenonthefence.com which is syndicated to over two million readers
monthly.[34][35][36][37][38][39] While not a legitimate type of blog, one used for the sole purpose
of spamming is known as a Splog.By media typeA blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one
comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or
one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Blogs with shorter posts and mixed media types are
called tumblelogs. Blogs that are written on typewriters and then scanned are called typecast or
typecast blogs; see typecasting (blogging).A rare type of blog hosted on the Gopher Protocol is
known as a Phlog.By deviceBlogs can also be defined by which type of device is used to compose it.
A blog written by a mobile device like a mobile phone or PDA could be called a moblog.[40] One
early blog was Wearable Wireless Webcam, an online shared diary of a person's personal life
combining text, video, and pictures transmitted live from a wearable computer and EyeTap device to
a web site. This practice of semi-automated blogging with live video together with text was referred
to as sousveillance. Such journals have been used as evidence in legal matters.[citation
needed]Reverse blogA Reverse Blog is composed by its users rather than a single blogger. This
system has the characteristics of a blog, and the writing of several authors. These can be written by
several contributing authors on a topic, or opened up for anyone to write. There is typically some
limit to the number of entries to keep it from operating like a Web Forum.
Community and catalogingThe BlogosphereThe collective community of all blogs is known as the
blogosphere. Since all blogs are on the internet by definition, they may be seen as interconnected
and socially networked, through blogrolls, comments, linkbacks (refbacks, trackbacks or pingbacks)
and backlinks. Discussions "in the blogosphere" are occasionally used by the media as a gauge of
public opinion on various issues. Because new, untapped communities of bloggers and their readers
can emerge in the space of a few years, Internet marketers pay close attention to "trends in the
6. blogosphere".[41]Blog search enginesSeveral blog search engines are used to search blog contents,
such as Bloglines, BlogScope, and Technorati. Technorati, which is among the more popular blog
search engines, provides current information on both popular searches and tags used to categorize
blog postings.[42] The research community is working on going beyond simple keyword search, by
inventing new ways to navigate through huge amounts of information present in the blogosphere, as
demonstrated by projects like BlogScope, which was shut down in 2012.[citation needed]Blogging
communities and directoriesSeveral online communities exist that connect people to blogs and
bloggers to other bloggers, including BlogCatalog and MyBlogLog.[43] Interest-specific blogging
platforms are also available. For instance, Blogster has a sizable community of political bloggers
among its members. Global Voices aggregates international bloggers, "with emphasis on voices that
are not ordinarily heard in international mainstream media."[44]Blogging and advertisingIt is
common for blogs to feature advertisements either to financially benefit the blogger or to promote
the blogger's favorite causes. The popularity of blogs has also given rise to "fake blogs" in which a
company will create a fictional blog as a marketing tool to promote a product.[45]
Popularity
Researchers have actively analyzed the dynamics of how blogs become popular. There are
essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through
affiliation (i.e., blogroll). The basic conclusion from studies of the structure of blogs is that while it
takes time for a blog to become popular through blogrolls, permalinks can boost popularity more
quickly, and are perhaps more indicative of popularity and authority than blogrolls, since they
denote that people are actually reading the blog's content and deem it valuable or noteworthy in
specific cases.[46]
The blogdex project was launched by researchers in the MIT Media Lab to crawl the Web and gather
data from thousands of blogs in order to investigate their social properties. Information was
gathered by the tool for over four years, during which it autonomously tracked the most contagious
information spreading in the blog community, ranking it by recency and popularity. It can
therefore[original research?] be considered the first instantiation of a memetracker. The project was
replaced by tailrank.com which in turn has been replaced by spinn3r.com.
Blogs are given rankings by blog search engine Technorati based on the number of incoming links
and Alexa Internet (Web hits of Alexa Toolbar users). In August 2006, Technorati found that the
most linked-to blog on the internet was that of Chinese actress Xu Jinglei.[47] Chinese media Xinhua
reported that this blog received more than 50 million page views, claiming it to be the most popular
blog in the world.[48] Technorati rated Boing Boing to be the most-read group-written blog.[47]
Blurring with the mass media
Many bloggers, particularly those engaged in participatory journalism, differentiate themselves from
the mainstream media, while others are members of that media working through a different channel.
Some institutions see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" and pushing messages
directly to the public. Some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the
mass media in presenting society with credible news. Bloggers and other contributors to usergenerated content are behind Time magazine naming their 2006 person of the year as "You".
Many mainstream journalists, meanwhile, write their own blogs -- well over 300, according to
CyberJournalist.net's J-blog list.[citation needed] The first known use of a blog on a news site was in
August 1998, when Jonathan Dube of The Charlotte Observer published one chronicling Hurricane
Bonnie.[49]
Some bloggers have moved over to other media. The following bloggers (and others) have appeared
on radio and television: Duncan Black (known widely by his pseudonym, Atrios), Glenn Reynolds
7. (Instapundit), Markos Moulitsas Z?niga (Daily Kos), Alex Steffen (Worldchanging), Ana Marie Cox
(Wonkette), Nate Silver (FiveThirtyEight.com), and Ezra Klein (Ezra Klein blog in The American
Prospect, now in the Washington Post). In counterpoint, Hugh Hewitt exemplifies a mass media
personality who has moved in the other direction, adding to his reach in "old media" by being an
influential blogger. Similarly, it was Emergency Preparedness and Safety Tips On Air and Online
blog articles that captured Surgeon General of the United States Richard Carmona's attention and
earned his kudos for the associated broadcasts by talk show host Lisa Tolliver and Westchester
Emergency Volunteer Reserves-Medical Reserve Corps Director Marianne Partridge.[50][51][52][53]
Blogs have also had an influence on minority languages, bringing together scattered speakers and
learners; this is particularly so with blogs in Gaelic languages. Minority language publishing (which
may lack economic feasibility) can find its audience through inexpensive blogging.
There are many examples of bloggers who have published books based on their blogs, e.g., Salam
Pax, Ellen Simonetti, Jessica Cutler, ScrappleFace. Blog-based books have been given the name
blook. A prize for the best blog-based book was initiated in 2005,[54] the Lulu Blooker Prize.[55]
However, success has been elusive offline, with many of these books not selling as well as their
blogs. Only blogger Tucker Max made The New York Times Best Seller list.[56] The book based on
Julie Powell's blog "The Julie/Julia Project" was made into the film Julie & Julia, apparently the first
to do so.
Consumer-generated advertising in blogs
Consumer-generated advertising is a relatively new and controversial development and it has
created a new model of marketing communication from businesses to consumers. Among the various
forms of advertising on blog, the most controversial are the sponsored posts.[57] These are blog
entries or posts and may be in the form of feedback, reviews, opinion, videos, etc. and usually
contain a link back to the desired site using a keyword/s.
Blogs have led to some disintermediation and a breakdown of the traditional advertising model
where companies can skip over the advertising agencies (previously the only interface with the
customer) and contact the customers directly themselves. On the other hand, new companies
specialised in blog advertising have been established, to take advantage of this new development as
well.
However, there are many people who look negatively on this new development. Some believe that
any form of commercial activity on blogs will destroy the blogosphere's credibility.[58]
Legal and social consequences
Blogging can result in a range of legal liabilities and other unforeseen consequences.[59]
Defamation or liability
Several cases have been brought before the national courts against bloggers concerning issues of
defamation or liability. U.S. payouts related to blogging totaled $17.4 million by 2009; in some cases
these have been covered by umbrella insurance.[60] The courts have returned with mixed verdicts.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs), in general, are immune from liability for information that
originates with third parties (U.S. Communications Decency Act and the EU Directive 2000/31/EC).
In Doe v. Cahill, the Delaware Supreme Court held that stringent standards had to be met to unmask
the anonymous bloggers, and also took the unusual step of dismissing the libel case itself (as
unfounded under American libel law) rather than referring it back to the trial court for
reconsideration.[61] In a bizarre twist, the Cahills were able to obtain the identity of John Doe, who
8. turned out to be the person they suspected: the town's mayor, Councilman Cahill's political rival.
The Cahills amended their original complaint, and the mayor settled the case rather than going to
trial.
In January 2007, two prominent Malaysian political bloggers, Jeff Ooi and Ahirudin Attan, were sued
by a pro-government newspaper, The New Straits Times Press (Malaysia) Berhad, Kalimullah bin
Masheerul Hassan, Hishamuddin bin Aun and Brenden John a/l John Pereira over an alleged
defamation. The plaintiff was supported by the Malaysian government.[62] Following the suit, the
Malaysian government proposed to "register" all bloggers in Malaysia in order to better control
parties against their interest.[63] This is the first such legal case against bloggers in the country.
In the United States, blogger Aaron Wall was sued by Traffic Power for defamation and publication
of trade secrets in 2005.[64] According to Wired Magazine, Traffic Power had been "banned from
Google for allegedly rigging search engine results."[65] Wall and other "white hat" search engine
optimization consultants had exposed Traffic Power in what they claim was an effort to protect the
public. The case addressed the murky legal question of who is liable for comments posted on
blogs.[66] The case was dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction, and Traffic Power failed to
appeal within the allowed time.[67]
In 2009, a controversial and landmark decision by The Hon. Mr Justice Eady refused to grant an
order to protect the anonymity of Richard Horton. Horton was a police officer in the United Kingdom
who blogged about his job under the name "NightJack".[68]
In 2009, NDTV issued a legal notice to Indian blogger Kunte for a blog post criticizing their coverage
of the Mumbai attacks.[69] The blogger unconditionally withdrew his post, which resulted in several
Indian bloggers criticizing NDTV for trying to silence critics.[70]
Employment
Employees who blog about elements of their place of employment can begin to affect the brand
recognition of their employer. In general, attempts by employee bloggers to protect themselves by
maintaining anonymity have proved ineffective.[71]
Delta Air Lines fired flight attendant Ellen Simonetti because she posted photographs of herself in
uniform on an airplane and because of comments posted on her blog "Queen of Sky: Diary of a Flight
Attendant" which the employer deemed inappropriate.[72][73] This case highlighted the issue of
personal blogging and freedom of expression versus employer rights and responsibilities, and so it
received wide media attention. Simonetti took legal action against the airline for "wrongful
termination, defamation of character and lost future wages".[74] The suit was postponed while Delta
was in bankruptcy proceedings (court docket).[75]
In early 2006, Erik Ringmar, a tenured senior lecturer at the London School of Economics, was
ordered by the convenor of his department to "take down and destroy" his blog in which he
discussed the quality of education at the school.[76]
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was fined during the 2006 NBA playoffs for criticizing
NBA officials on the court and in his blog.[77]
Mark Jen was terminated in 2005 after 10 days of employment as an Assistant Product Manager at
Google for discussing corporate secrets on his personal blog, then called 99zeros and hosted on the
Google-owned Blogger service.[78] He blogged about unreleased products and company finances a
week before the company's earnings announcement. He was fired two days after he complied with
9. his employer's request to remove the sensitive material from his blog.[79]
In India, blogger Gaurav Sabnis resigned from IBM after his posts questioned the claims of a
management school IIPM.[80]
Jessica Cutler, aka "The Washingtonienne",[81] blogged about her sex life while employed as a
congressional assistant. After the blog was discovered and she was fired,[82] she wrote a novel
based on her experiences and blog: The Washingtonienne: A Novel. Cutler is presently being sued by
one of her former lovers in a case that could establish the extent to which bloggers are obligated to
protect the privacy of their real life associates.[83]
Catherine Sanderson, a.k.a. Petite Anglaise, lost her job in Paris at a British accountancy firm
because of blogging.[84] Although given in the blog in a fairly anonymous manner, some of the
descriptions of the firm and some of its people were less than flattering. Sanderson later won a
compensation claim case against the British firm, however.[85]
On the other hand, Penelope Trunk wrote an upbeat article in the Boston Globe back in 2006,
entitled "Blogs 'essential' to a good career".[86] She was one of the first journalists to point out that
a large portion of bloggers are professionals and that a well-written blog can help attract employers.
Political dangers
Blogging can sometimes have unforeseen consequences in politically sensitive areas. Blogs are much
harder to control than broadcast or even print media. As a result, totalitarian and authoritarian
regimes often seek to suppress blogs and/or to punish those who maintain them.
In Singapore, two ethnic Chinese were imprisoned under the country's anti-sedition law for posting
anti-Muslim remarks in their blogs.[87]
Egyptian blogger Kareem Amer was charged with insulting the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak
and an Islamic institution through his blog. It is the first time in the history of Egypt that a blogger
was prosecuted. After a brief trial session that took place in Alexandria, the blogger was found guilty
and sentenced to prison terms of three years for insulting Islam and inciting sedition, and one year
for insulting Mubarak.[88]
Egyptian blogger Abdel Monem Mahmoud was arrested in April 2007 for anti-government writings
in his blog.[89] Monem is a member of the then banned Muslim Brotherhood.
After the 2011 Egyptian revolution, the Egyptian blogger Maikel Nabil Sanad was charged with
insulting the military for an article he wrote on his personal blog and sentenced to 3 years.[90]
After expressing opinions in his personal blog about the state of the Sudanese armed forces, Jan
Pronk, United Nations Special Representative for the Sudan, was given three days notice to leave
Sudan. The Sudanese army had demanded his deportation.[91][92]
In Myanmar, Nay Phone Latt, a blogger, was sentenced to 20 years in jail for posting a cartoon
critical of head of state Than Shwe.[93]
Personal safetySee also: Cyberstalking and Internet homicide
One consequence of blogging is the possibility of attacks or threats against the blogger, sometimes
without apparent reason. Kathy Sierra, author of the innocuous blog "Creating Passionate
Users",[94] was the target of such vicious threats and misogynistic insults that she canceled her
10. keynote speech at a technology conference in San Diego, fearing for her safety.[95] While a
blogger's anonymity is often tenuous, Internet trolls who would attack a blogger with threats or
insults can be emboldened by anonymity. Sierra and supporters initiated an online discussion aimed
at countering abusive online behavior[96] and developed a blogger's code of conduct.
Behavior
The Blogger's Code of Conduct is a proposal by Tim O'Reilly for bloggers to enforce civility on their
blogs by being civil themselves and moderating comments on their blog. The code was proposed in
2007 due to threats made to blogger Kathy Sierra.[97] The idea of the code was first reported by
BBC News, who quoted O'Reilly saying, "I do think we need some code of conduct around what is
acceptable behaviour, I would hope that it doesn't come through any kind of regulation it would
come through self-regulation."[98]
O'Reilly and others came up with a list of seven proposed ideas:[99][100][101][102]
Take responsibility not just for your own words, but for the comments you allow on your blog.Label
your tolerance level for abusive comments.Consider eliminating anonymous comments.Ignore the
trolls.Take the conversation offline, and talk directly, or find an intermediary who can do so.If you
know someone who is behaving badly, tell them so.Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say in
person.
These ideas were predictably intensely discussed on the Web and in the media. While the internet
has continued to grow, with online activity and discourse only picking up both in positive and
negative ways in terms of blog interaction, the proposed Code has drawn more widespread attention
to the necessity of monitoring blogging activity and social norms being as important online as
offline.
