Last November, I posted on Kairosnews a link to Dennis Jerz's Literacy Weblog post regarding Blood's blogging ethics. Pretty tame discussion then, but if you've been following the discussion about depublishing (see Ten Reasons Why) then you know why this is an issue worth discussing further (and are probably not surprised that Dave Winer is at the center of it: and he wonders why people don't trust him to have so much hold over the RSS standard?).
Anyway, Ten Reasons Why has written up an editorial blogging policy for his site. Seems like a good document for Kairosnews to develop (perhaps we could ask Greg Ritter for permission to work from his draft as a starting point?).
What do you think?
Winer Watch?
Funny enough, when I went to follow the link to Winer Watch (where supposedly they were recording the differences between Winer's original posts as registered in the RSS feed, and his edited posts), the page was no longer there (de-published?).
winer watch
yeah. as i understand it, someone stumbled upon it and blogged it (i don't think pilgrim had publicized it). once it got spread around, it was taken down.

depublishing
Yes, Charlie, I think we should have some kind of policy similar to Ten Reason Why's. It really annoys me that people do this kind of tinkering around with posts, comments, etc. This kind of thing is a big part of why online documents are still not legitimized--either in the academy or in general.
