Britt Blaser’s Escapable Logic. Again, thanks to Doc Searls for the link.
Gordon Meyer’s Usable Help. Thanks to Cory Doctorow for the link.
David Weinberger’s JOHO the Blog. I can’t resist quoting A Blogger Code of UnProfessional Ethics:
My readers:
…know me. They will judge me according to context.
…are smart. They will not be misled by some stray comment I may happen to make.
…are kind. They make allowances and forgive me ahead of time.
In return:
I will speak my mind about what I care about.
I will not revise too much or too carefully: Blogging about opera is still jazz.
I will not anticipate and reply to every objection: Punctilliousness in pursuit of the appearance of propriety kills voice.
If I apologize, it will be because I have actually betrayed my readers’ trust, not because I may have, might have, or could be misread as having done so.
I pledge to keep the reading of my weblog purely optional.
