Bloggers in Egypt are now being arrested for not moderating comments on their blog posts.
There is a question of blogging ethics here, in that an anonymous commenter launched into a personal attack against an employee of a company mentioned in the blogger’s story. The employee was not a public figure. The blogger eventually said “that he will delete them [the comments] because the attack is personal and unfounded.”

Blogosphere 2.0: Why it ain’t what it used to be.
Norms and practices. Bloggers have undermined the blogosphere. Bloggers do not link to each other as much as they used to. It’s a lot of work to look for good posts elsewhere, and most bloggers have become burnt out. Drezner and Farrell had a theory that even small potato bloggers would have their day in the sun, if they wrote something so great that it garnered the attention of the big guys. But the big guys are too burnt out to find the hidden gems. So, good stuff is being written all the time, and it isn’t bubbling to the top.
Many have stopped using blogrolls, which means less love spread around the blogosphere. The politics of who should be on a blogroll was too much of a pain, so bloggers just deleted the whole thing.
