Blogger Manifestos and the awful truth

textrapolis has an interesting post on various Blogger Manifestos.

He points to Andrew Sullivan's piece on Why online weblogs are one future for journalism.

And also to David Weinberger's manifesto parody:

1. Life is uncensored.
   Life is uncensored, but my clients and my Mom may be reading my blog.
2. You have no right to judge me.
   You have no right to judge me, but judging you is totally fun.
3. I love writing about other people's lives.
   I love writing about other people's lives when it makes my life look good...

And also lists Sean Carton's Bad Blogger Manifesto:

1. I will post what I want, when I want, for whom I want.


2. I will not take ads. Nothing against ads, but the hassle with
   dealing with them and the ugliness they bring isn't worth the effort.


3. I will not be an outlet for press releases. If you want me to flack for
   you, pay me.


4. I will not put my life on hold to keep this up. I already have a job. I don't need another that doesn't pay...

In other news, David Weinberger comes clean with the truth: he is not keeping up with your blog.
