As Bloggers Take Office In Malaysia, Gov't Orders ISPs To Block Certain Blogs

Over the last couple of years, we've had a series of interesting stories about how the Malaysian gov't is dealing with "blogs." First, a gov't official slammed blogs and tried to pass a law requiring bloggers to register with the government. Outrage over such a plan resulted in it being scrapped, but the majority ruling party still struggled with blogs -- though tried to figure out ways to respond to them more feasibly than attacking them. It set up a gov't agency to respond to bloggers, and later required certain candidates for offices to set up their own blogs. Of course, it also tried to crack down on some bloggers it didn't like, including having a state owned paper file a libel suit over a blog.

Google to erect ?Big Tent? for political circus bloggers

At the time of the 2000 presidential campaign, blogging was in its infancy. By 2004, CNN was reporting that “a new breed of political observers will be offering volumes of pointed commentary at this year’s political conventions,” with both parties granting credentials to a handful of bloggers. But this time around the presidential race track, blogging is bigtime. Some 500 bloggers will be working the Democratic National Convention in Denver next week, some embedded with their state delegations on the floor. The Republicans have credentialed about 200 for their confab in St. Paul, with convention spokeswoman Joanna Burgos saying, “We recognize it’s a whole new world out there with bloggers but we’re really embracing it.” And tending to the needs and sustenance of these content-generating armies will be Google.

Convention Stars, McCain's 'Prickly' Interview

Both Bill Clinton's and Joe Biden's speeches last night at the convention earned solid marks from most liberal bloggers. They praise Biden's sincerity and ability to appeal to the problems of average Americans and Clinton's oratory skills and wholehearted support for Obama. At the Weekly Standard, bloggers think Biden made a better case for Obama than Clinton, who they think did not focus enough on Obama's past accomplishments. One Huffington Post blogger thinks that Clinton missed the chance to attack McCain on foreign policy, an issue that Biden addressed more effectively. Conservative bloggers eagerly point out a couple of mistakes Biden made in his speech. The real hit of the night among liberal bloggers, however, was John Kerry, who gave a "golden speech" and "delivered some of the night's most memorable lines.

Study: Some doctor bloggers tell all

Although doctor or nurse bloggers might think they're anonymous, they sometimes inadvertently end up revealing their identities and, as a result, their patients', according to a study. Researchers reviewed five entries each for 271 blogs written by people who said they were a physician or a nurse, and they found that 114 of the blogs described patients. More than half of the bloggers provided enough information in their text or images to reveal their identities, and 45 of the blogs that described interactions with individual patients included enough information for them to identify their doctors or themselves. Three blogs went so far to show recognizable photos of patients.

How Much Do Bloggers Make?

For an upcoming story on how to make money with a blog, I spoke with several bloggers who were willing to share their own financial successes (and struggles). The bottom line seems to be that while making a side income with a blog is possible, it takes a lot of effort—so much that many people will decide it's not worth pursuing. Here's a snapshot of four different bloggers, all of whom are at different stages:

Should You Blog on the First Date?

Rachel Kramer BusselThe sex blogger panel at SXSW was entertaining and provided food for thought, but I’ve been having trouble writing about it. I finally realized that the problem with writing about sex bloggers is the same problem bloggers have writing about sex: Specifically, sex and sexuality are very core to self, so even the most gentle critiquing of someone’s sexuality can be terribly hurtful. If any sex bloggers are wounded by what I say here, I apologize, but please keep in mind how you feel when you write about sex with a date who doesn’t like your review.

Obama's Acceptance Speech, Palin Veep Shocker

As has been the case with every major speech of this year's Democratic National Convention, each blogger seems to have a different take on Barack Obama's speech. Liberal bloggers say that the speech either met or exceeded expectations (not an easy feat) and that Obama was "wonderfully successful" in his delivery and presentation of key themes. Chris Cillizza said it was "more substance than style," and David Kusnet at the New Republic thought it was Ronald Reaganesque. Some other liberals thought it was a bit of a letdown, "uneven in delivery," and too long. Although most bloggers noted the comprehensive and detailed nature of the speech, the AP reported "a lack of specifics," to the shock of liberal bloggers. On the conservative side, a National Review blogger had a long list of positives and negatives while another thought it was pretty
