Own What You Think

Have to say this set of morning readings took me on a windy trail. From Juicy Campus and Autoadmit to Own What You Think, each site became more interesting to me. I have never understood why people have to post anonymous slurs and comments on web sites. These series of sites might help us all to understand how to combat it:

First, go to this site and sign the petition:
Own What You Think

Then get an online copy of the book (in PDF), The Future of Reputation: Gossip, Rumor, and Privacy on the Internet, by Daniel J. Solove, a professor at George Washington University Law School.

And last, why not check out iPetitions and start one of your own at your campus or place of work?

Hard to disagree with the philosophy of standing behind one's work, don't you think?
