Is there no justice?

It's really unfortunate that sometimes when you commit acts of rampant vandalism, you get publicly humiliated for it later...especially if you're only a 12-year-old, chucking objects at elderly people and women with strollers.

It kills me, how inappropriately broadcast our public acts can be. Someone silence that blogger, quick! He has no right to be spreading images of anyone in public to the world wide web. Heaven knows, he's no journalist.

To read more about this quasi-journalistic blogging vigilante, visit the New York Times online and  read about Daniel Cavanaugh, a neighborhood blogger in New York who faces the threat of retribution for blogging about his neighbors.

This is the thing.

The New York Times explores new social media in this article on several different new social media outlets:  Instagram and Path for pictures and video, Ping for sharing in musical taste and Diaspora for building a virtual stockade fence around your online profile. New social mediums are scrabbling desperately to find a niche within huge networks like Facebook and Twitter - not a new movement, but a hole to fill.

Sometimes innovation just means a new take on someone else's idea.
