Publicity Thanks

Thanks to Jeffrey Rosen for mentioning ai in “Your Blog Or Mine” in today's NY Times Magazine, and thanks to Jeremy for pointing it out to me, and thanks to How Appealing for the mention and link as well. I haven't read the article yet, but I can tell you that if you're looking for the GW blog that talks about student sex scandals, you're more likely to find that stuff at Life, Law, Libido, or “L-cubed” as it is affectionately known. If you found the Times article interesting and ended up here, you might want to explore the archives; there may be some items in the meta-blogging category that you'll like. Also, I'm obviously curious to learn what people think of Rosen's article; comments are open. Thanks for stopping by!

Gee, all this time I have been blogging about law and politics, but as usual what sells is sex - I will have to try to fit more of that in.

Well, kudos on being mentioned, even if Rosen managed to ignore the actual substance of your blog. I have many thoughts on the article, but most of them are echoed by Will Baude.

We're going to have to get Prof. Rosen a few interns to help spade his next anti-blog screed... the least he could do is actually, well, get the *facts* right. (I'm guessing getting the opinions in the ballpark is overly optimistic.)

Have a good holiday, and be sure to let us know about the blawg world at GW once classes resume... (Methinks there might be a few more after Rosen's piece.)

I can see why law profs would not want students blogging about what happens in class. The shockingly low quality of law professors in general (exceptions, of course, exist) would be exposed to the world. What law professor would want that?

I still haven't read the article closely, but from what I've seen, I'd say the Crescat link above makes some good points, as does Chris Geidner's analysis at De Novo. Judging from Rosen's proven ability to produce more substantive writing, it seems fairly clear that the NY Times wasn't looking for a very serious story about blogs and privacy, but instead was trying to get some trade on a blogs and sex angle.

Editors can be so unhelpful sometimes.
