More from the LIS listservs and blogs
This probably could be a comment to the original post, but I felt it was going to cover enough new ground to deserve its own post. Discussion on the library listserves about Seigenthaler’s article in USA Today continues. It has become a heated debate on at a few listservs.
People are using it to discuss blogs as well. They brough up an article called Attack of the Blogs, that was published in Forbes on Nov. 14. I don’t think we have discussed that yet. On the first page of that article, Daniel Lyons, basically attacks blogs as slander machines. It is long, so I haven’t made it to the other 3 pages yet. Karen G. Schneider, then points to a blog entry of hers where an open letter in response to Forbes has been published. The letter was written by the Internet Press Guild.
This article in the Onion was also posted as comic relief. This article jokes about the idea of a wiki-constitution. As someone who has published a copy of the constitution, Michael S. Hart, of Project Gutenberg, then pointed out that even the original copies of the constiution differ from one another.
p.s. I also noted on Karen’s blog an entry about Leslie Burger, President of the ALA’s, return to blogging. She got this from an entry on tametheweb. They both pointed to this entry about Leslie’s visit to UNC-Chapel Hill. Free press about our event. No one noticed when Leslie posted it to her website, but her blog, and lots of people now know.
