			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blogging was never really a genteel medium. It&#8217;s raw, uncensored, no posts barred. Until the chaotic nebula condensed and started emitting <a title="Blogosphere Responds To Death Threats" href="http://www.webpronews.com/insiderreports/2007/03/27/blogosphere-responds-to-death-threats">death threats</a>, nobody, except lawyers, really had a problem with it. </p>
<p><iframe width="336" height="251" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="http://videos.webpronews.com/video/frame2.php?movie_name=newsblogging041007" /> </iframe></p>
<p>The Kathy Sierra saga made its way <a title="Bloggers Resolve Dispute On CNN" href="http://www.webpronews.com/insiderreports/2007/04/02/bloggers-resolve-dispute-on-cnn">to CNN</a> and to the New York Times. Celebrity blogger Robert Scoble boycotted blogging for a week. And Tim O&#8217;Reilly had a Jerry Maguire moment and drafted the first unofficial <a title="Tim O'Reilly's Blogger Code of Conduct" href="http://www.webpronews.com/insiderreports/2007/04/09/oreilly-draws-up-blogging-code-policy">Blogging Code of Conduct</a>. </p>
<p>Let the debate begin. After it has begun, begin to wonder who&#8217;s going to enforce this. Assertions that there can be any sort of policing of the blogosphere is Pollyanna at best. And even if it could be accomplished, we ask again: &quot;Who watches the watchmen?&quot; </p>
<p>Just like in <em>Monty Python and The Holy Grail</em>, the sound of coconut hooves sally up to the Gallic watchmen who warn of twice-taunting. Would a Blogger Code of Conduct really amount to anything more than that? </p>
<p>In our WebProNews Video, Nicole chats with bloggers Andy Steggles, Robert Scoble, and Andy Beal, all of whom seem to have their doubts about O&#8217;Reilly&#8217;s proposal. A Code of Conduct is &quot;not going to be any use,&quot; &quot;too limiting,&quot; and &quot;will stifle the growth&quot; of the blogosphere.</p></p>
