Whither Winer’s Weblogs

James Joyner | Tuesday, June 15, 2004

Dave Winer suddenly and abruptly shut down all blogs hosted on weblogs.com.

I agree with Michele Catalano that, while he had every right to stop giving away free hosting, it would have been decent of him to give notice ahead of time to allow people to back up their sites and restart them elsewhere.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia with his wife and infant daughter.

He has the right to do it, but jeez, this just adds to his already infamous reputation online.
