MySpace Blocks 29,000 Convicted Sex Offenders
The BBC reports that MySpace has announced they are blocking the profiles of 29,000 convicted sex offenders. The social networking website MySpace has reported a four-fold increase in the number of convicted sex offenders using its service. The company found more than 29,000 convicted sex offenders in the United States had profiles on MySpace – up from a figure of 7,000 given in May. MySpace said it was pleased it had identified and removed the profiles of the offenders. Critics of MySpace call for new laws to make such sites safer for children. A lot of critics are targeting MySpace while completely ignoring many other social networks that are not doing as much to stop pedophiles. Part of the reason for that is MySpace is the largest and most popular social network so they are hit with the most complaints. Posted in MySpace Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com

New Travel Community Wants Expert Opinions
A new travel blog/wiki platform has launched called Trippert. Mashable reports that the service is focusing on expert travel guides. Travel blogging is becoming popular with both those documenting their travels and those who want to sample foreign countries before they set off. Newcomer Trippert, based in Palo Alto, doesn’t want to be a totally open travel blog platform: instead, they’re focused on users offering expert travel guides, with more focus on timeless content than the passing observations of travel bloggers. Tagging makes articles easier to find, and profile pages aggregate your articles in reverse chronological order: it’s essentially a blog. Users can also write articles together in a wiki format. For us geeks: RSS feeds of a writer’s posts. Trippert may be focusing on expert opinions as a way to stand out in the crowded travel blog niche. You can find a few other travel blogging services here in this post. Mashable also has a roundup of many travel blogging and online journal services in a post called Travel Hacking.

Study Finds Companies Firing Employees for Leaving Blog and Forum Comments
Wired’s Threat Level blog cites an interesting study that found that nearly 10% of companies have fired at least one employee for leaving comments on a message board or a blog. Nearly ten percent of companies have fired an employee for violating corporate blogging or message board policies, and 19 percent have disciplined an employee for the same infractions, according to a new survey from Proofpoint, a messaging security company. Almost a third of companies “employ staff to read or otherwise analyze outbound email,” while more than fifteen percent have hired people whose primary function is to spy on outgoing corporate email. A quarter have fired an employee for violating corporate email policies. Twenty percent of the companies and almost thirty percent of companies with more than 20,000 employees had been ordered by a court or a regulator to turn over employee emails. Wired’s Threat Level also notes that Proofpoint, the company behind the survey, is a “vendor that sells message monitoring equipment.” Proofpoint’s survey is very timely as one of the big business news stories this week was the trouble Whole Foods CEO John Mackey got in over comments he left on a Yahoo dicussion forum under the name “Rahodeb.” Mackey’s blog was even put on hold (via Ars Technica). The fact that message board comments were lumped in with blog comments in this study is a little unfair to the blogosphere but there may not be much that can be done about it. Corporations tend to frown on employees leaving comments anywhere — whether it is a blog, website, news article or online forum. Posted in Blog Comments Permalink | Recent Headlines | WWFeeds.com
