BLOGS CAN BITE - By Steve Johnson, Chicago Tribune
Collectively, the tales scream what award-winning blogger Heather Armstrong learned the hard way: 'You can write about work, absolutely. Go ahead and vent. But you're taking your livelihood into your hands.'
That's what Armstrong, a 30-year-old Salt Lake City mom whose blog is dooce.com, says now, three years after being fired from a lucrative Web-design job. In calling her boss, among other juicy tidbits, 'Her Wretchedness' and 'the most insane person you have ever witnessed outside of `Dateline NBC,'' she started down a path that led to unemployment and a brave new word.
Thanks to Armstrong, the Urban Dictionary, an online collection of user-defined slang terms, lists: 'Dooced: to lose one's job because of one's website. Dude, I heard Janey got dooced last week.'------------------------------------------- posted 5:05 AM :: reference link ::
