Introducing Brianshih.com

Type: Technology and Usability

Brian Shih is a junior studying Electrical and Computer Engineering at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering. This blog is focused on usability, new technology, and making the world better for humans, not robots.

Notes from Liz: You might recall that Brian was the first of our guest writers. His article on using sidebars prompted a lively discussion that caused us to visit sites and discuss design questions regarding how sidebars can serve both readers and writers. Brian also recently introduced us to “Cropper,” the shareware program that cuts time in making screen shots down to seconds. I’ve been using it constantly since the moment he turned me on to it. Take a minute and check out Brian’s blog.

Sunday Night Blog Discussion

January 22, 2006 by Liz

For those who come looking for a short, thoughtful read, a blogging life discussion, or a way to gradually ease back into the week, tonight I offer a Blogging Discussion.

This one’s serious.

Here you go. . . .

This week the Blog Herald reported that WashingtonPost.com has turned off comments on its blog . . .

“Because a significant number of folks who have posted in this blog have refused to follow any of those relatively simple rules, we”ve decided not to allow comments for the time being,” Jim Brady, executive editor of Washingtonpost.com, wrote on the subject.

In August, Aaron Wall of SEO Book fame, was sued for comments left by someone on his blog . . . a good discussion is covered at The Intuitive Life Business Blog ( which I found via the Blog Herald) in which writer Dave Taylor says

“I’m well aware that legal precedent holds that if you moderate, edit, or prune comments on your online forum — or blog — in any way at all then you stop being able to defend yourself as a common carrier and become a publisher who is, indeed, liable for the content that they publish.”

My question is this.

How do you respond?
