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."
