OTB writes, "National Review’s Ed Whelan has outed The Blogger Formerly Known as Publius,
revealing his name and employer despite being informed by TBFKAP that
he had a “variety of private, family, and professional reasons” for
wishing to keep his identity private." Joyner says that outing anonymous bloggers is bad form.
From the NYTs. "According to a 2008 survey by Technorati, which runs a search engine
for blogs, only 7.4 million out of the 133 million blogs the company
tracks had been updated in the past 120 days. That translates to 95
percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the
Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an
ambition — unfulfilled."

“That translates to 95 percent of blogs being essentially abandoned, left to lie fallow on the Web, where they become public remnants of a dream — or at least an ambition — unfulfilled”
I thought that was a bit of classic NY Times foolishness. I have 5-6 blogs of various sorts out there. One I update frequently; the others are all goal-specific and don’t get updated very often. One is a place holder for HTML code I use for formatting pictures. And, all my blogs are password protected, because I have no ambition, except perhaps, to inform the people who care about my family. It’s only a journalist who would assume that all such blog (biographical log, after all) would be for public purposes.
