As I mentioned previously, the blogosphere is all abuzz about Kathy Sierra's situation. Out of all the buzz, here are some posts I found among the more interesting or insightful:
- Robert Scoble is taking the week off from blogging (and has a long comment trail)
- Seth Godin: Misogyny and anonymity
- Tara Hunt on The Unsinkable Kathy Sierra
- Stephanie Booth: Disturbed About Reactions to Kathy Sierra’s Post (and I agree with her points about the rush to judgement)
- Lisa Stone: Hating Hate Speech: Safety for Kathy Sierra and all women online (excellent comments about the BlogHer community guidelines)
- Leesa Barnes: Discouraging Anonymity is Key to Protecting Visibility
- brand curve: zero violence blog graphic (an idea for a blog graphic to show support)
- Eric Eggertson: The Internet Was Built on Bullying, so Let’s not Pretend this Is New
- Chris Pirillo:I had Death Threats in High Schooll ("The problem isn’t with the blogosphere - it’s with the human race.")
Somewhere in all of that was also this Washington Post article:
which, while not talking about this specific case, was a good commentary on the amount of venom appearing in blog posts and comments.
All in all an interesting day in the blogosphere....
