Logging off ... for good: The latest study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds the American Internet population is growing, but not at the warp speed it once was.
According to the study, overall growth has slowed since late 2001. The study says one reason for the leveling off is that the number of people dropping offline roughly equals the number of newcomers logging on each month.

CONTAMINANTES
O país dos brandos costumes no seu melhor:
Penas mais pesadas para pedófilos que para homicidas: a "pena máxima de prisão que poderia ser aplicada a alguém por abuso sexual de crianças" deve ser [...] pena de morte (22,3 por cento).
Defesa do Iluminismo: Portugal ainda está muito longe de ser um País moderno, em que a Razão desempenhe um papel relevante e determinante. Entregue a si mesmo - e excitados por demagogos populistas ansiosos do lucro fácil e rápido de apoios populares em eleições - o "bom povo português", ordeiro e moderado, que não gosta de sangue e de violência, não hesitaria em "obrigar" os Tribunais a punir selvaticamente os que tenham cometidos crimes, que por muito horrorosos que sejam não podem levar à lógica do olho por olho que caracterizou épocas pretéritas.

VITAMEDIAS
Devem os blogs ter um código de ética?
A Bloggers' Code of Ethics
Be Honest and Fair
Minimize Harm
Be Accountable
Weblog Ethics
1. Publish as fact only that which you believe to be true.
2. If material exists online, link to it when you reference it.
3. Publicly correct any misinformation.
4. Write each entry as if it could not be changed; add to, but do not rewrite or delete, any entry.
5. Disclose any conflict of interest.
6. Note questionable and biased sources.
Blogging Code of Ethics
1. Amateur Journalists are inherently biased.
2. Caveats are critical online.
3. Blogging doesn't magically make you immune from Libel and Slander.
[Concordo com não plagiar; concordo com indicar as fontes e que deve ser corrigida qualquer matéria de facto inverídica; tudo o resto é discutível porque:
- os blogs que não são jornalismo estão sujeitos à sua criatividade e à lei local;
- se são jornalismo, seguem as regras deontológicas dessa profissão e a lei local.
Alguns podem mesmo seguir a sua convicção religiosa mas não se devem impôr mais códigos.]

Employers have right to ban blogging: University of Illinois journalism professor Eric Meyer defends the Hartford Courant's decision to order a staff member to stop publishing a Weblog, arguing the Weblog has "the potential to damage his employer's reputation."
In a companion counterpoint essay, blogger and online columnist J.D. Lasica argues against the decision, saying it will send "a chilling effect through the journalistic blogging community."

Google cache raises copyright concerns: Like other online publishers, The New York Times charges readers to access articles on its Web site. But why pay when you can use Google instead? [...]
While it seems that many Net publishers haven't formed an official policy on Google caching, they say they are examining how it affects their business.
Randy Stearns, executive producer for ABCNews.com, said he's somewhat concerned about his company's news pages being archived temporarily on Google, because readers might access information that is not up-to-date or, in the worst case for a daily news outlet, is inaccurate. Theoretically, if a news report was issued with errors and was subsequently fixed on the publisher's site, but the erroneous report still existed in a cached version, it could raise legal issues for the publisher, he said.
