Another "Watch What You Blog" Story

AP writes another variation on the "watch what you blog" story:

Some are, however, finding that putting one's life online can have a price. A few bloggers, for instance, have been fired for writing about work on personal online journals. And Maya Marcel-Keyes, daughter of conservative politician Alan Keyes, discovered the trickiness of providing personal details online when her discussions on her blog about being a lesbian became an issue during her father's recent run for a U.S. Senate seat in Illinois (he made anti-gay statements during the campaign).

People are getting fired for blogging the wrong thing, students are getting suspended for blogging the wrong thing, and political candidates are losing elections after their kids blog the wrong thing. (Although, in all honesty, Keyes didn't exactly need any help from his daughter to lose his election.)

But at least if you blog something bad about your boss, and get caught, it's not likely to get caught on videotape.
