I just got interviewed by a local paper about my blog. Ask me anything.

The Asheville Citizen Times just interviewed me about my blog. (It seems that I'm getting some local attention.)

:)

I'm not sure what the article is about, but the reporter seemed interested in blog culture and if the public should be concerned about bloggers libeling their neighbors.

In a nutshell, I told her that serious bloggers consider credibility the coin of the realm and that existing libel law should protect people just fine. In the blogosphere, it's okay to have a POV and make mistakes - as long as you are up-front with people about what you do, or don't, know.

I also said the blogosphere is self-regulating because it's easy to set up your own blog with truthful information if you are being attacked.

We talked about a lot more.

Today the local paper, tomorrow the New York Times!

Onward!
