Blogging Blitz
The power of blogging and the scope of it’s reach is being demonstrated here in Ireland by the reaction received by Damien Mulley over his blog about the mishandling of his luggage during a trip through Cork Airport.
His article, written on June 4th, was critical of the baggage handling and elicited responses from many sympathetic to his plight and by some who had similar experiences. But, what is making this news today is the invasion of his privacy seemingly conducted through a Sky Handling Partners company computer. It appears they used the Internet to try to harass, embarass, and cause harm to Mr. Mulley’s reputation by using his personal information on various websites after requesting that he remove his post from the popular site.
In a show of comraderie bloggers are backing Mulley in his battle with the baggers with comments of support, stories and links to this and other related articles on the subject. It is overloading some websites and getting the ire up with a battalion of bloggers who have both an opportunity to see one of our own get justice and to witness a healthy respect for the power of blogs in general.
Give ‘em hell Damien!
