[WikiEN-l] Using social networking sites as sources

[Andrew Gray]

This may be of interest to some people, given our occasional habit of
fleshing out articles by raiding the personal sites of subjects:

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003211808_fancher20.html

It's a brief report of a discussion at the Seattle Times about the
reliability and ethical appropriateness of using (say) the Myspace
page of a murder victim in reporting on them. Not much content, but
it's good to see people are asking themselves these questions.
