Via Uptown Update:
(seriously - click that link and find out what the heck is happening)
"Google regularly receives subpoenas seeking information for a variety of reasons related to blogs hosted on Blogger.com" ... like now as the anonymous bloggers behind Uptown's online watchdog might be exposed over their Wilson Yard Project reports.
Either they are journalists working for larger media needing an opinionated outpost or --- they are jumping the wro-o-o-o-ng fence.
Could the intellectual exchange happening on these neighborhood blogs begin attracting more law enforcement than the uh, drug dealing in plain view happening right outside the Wilson Red Line CTA stop?
Maybe this is why I've yet to hear back from the Edgewater Crime Blotter bloggers. Citizen journalist bloggers are like mafia informants. Except the "mafia" in this equation are supposed to be publicly elected officers. Keepin' them honest is not a cowardly endeavor - so why are their investigators scratching off their bylines?
