      FBI Drops in on GN'R Leaker

      When Kevin Skwerl leaked nine new tracks from long-awaited Guns N’ Roses album Chinese Democracy last week, he expected some fallout.  A visit from two “Mulder and Scully” types courtesy of the FBI was not quite what he had in mind, reports Rolling Stone .  “It‘s a little creepy they know where I work, "says Skwerl, who posted tracks received from "an anonymous online source" on his blog.

      newser  |  Wired  |  Jun 4, 08 1:51 PM CDT

      The 7 Types of Blog Posts

      As vast as the Internet is, every blog post can be summed up into pretty much one of seven basic types, explains Lore Sjoberg in Wired: Be upset! "Terrible things are happening in one of the following: the world, the web, or a TV show you really like." Buy a thing! Screw mass media, let me post about the crappy gadget I must have and let's "shove advertising down each other's throats." Animals are cute! Though beware: "animals also includes babies and children younger than 8." More »

      Bitter Breakup? Time for a Blog

      Call it therapeutic or call it revenge, but more ex-spouses are airing their dirty laundry on the Internet—and courts are supporting them even if their former partners are not. Personal blogs have quadrupled since 2003, the New York Times notes in a look at the trend, with many using them to dish about everything from marital affairs, divorce proceedings, or their ex's profile on Match.com.

      'Death by Blogging' Story Was Pure Hooey

      The relentlessly self-analytical blogosphere had a field day with the recent New York Times story on bloggers allegedly writing themselves to death. But as the Internet exploded with reaction to the paper's claims, a Slate critic points out that the dire trend story was backed up by the thinnest tissue of circumstance. "Let's not kid ourselves that any white-collar work ranks high among dangerous professions," sniffs Timothy Noah in Slate. More »

      'Sweatshop' Bloggers Drop Dead

      The news cycle never stops, and neither do the bloggers who relentlessly chase stories, enduring a sweatshop kind of life stressful enough to apparently induce heart attacks. Two prominent web commentators have died in the last few months, and the community is reflecting on the toll of its hardcore, caffeine-fueled, take-no-prisoners lifestyle, the New York Times reports.
