I have been speaking with a lot of colleagues recently about possible methodological considerations for the liveblogging research project I am doing right now. As I plan to speak about some of the things I learned, I thought I should also create my own policy for blogging about private correspondence. I have never seen any personal policies about blogging publicly about private matters, though it would not surprise me if they exist. I shall start drafting one here:

 Blogging Policy on Privacy

1. I will not relate anybody’s personal, private, or self-identified information when they communicate it with me in confidence.
2. Public presentations and discussions can be blogged under an understanding of Freedom of Speech.

Let’s see, what else is there?

I wonder what happened to Tim O’Reilly’s Draft Blogger’s Code of Conduct?
