AIM Privacy Uproar Highlights Blogging's Power
Over the past few days, news spread rapidly about changes to AOL Instant Messenger's Terms of Service with most people believing that their private IMs could be read and used in marketing by AOL.  It all started with a blog entry at Thrashing Through Cyberspace. I got word of the entry from a friend on IM on Sunday night, and by this afternoon, I heard it being talked about on a popular DC radio station. Just goes to show how fast a message can spread via blogging, and once again blogging being the catalyst for mainstream news.

Stowe Boyd has good coverage of how the actual story and AOL's response has developed over the past 24 hours at Get Real.
