Go Daddy Go

John at AmericaBLOG has asked his users to stop using GoDaddy.com, a web hosting/registering service, because the owner of GoDaddy.com is a right-wing hack. Now, I don't necessarily buy into the school of thought that we should boycott everything remotely attached to the opposition, but I do think there is a conflict of interest when (a) the president of GoDaddy.com uses the corporate logo on his personal blog and (b) GoDaddy.com links back to the president's blog. John writes:

[GoDaddy's] president is, well, a right-wing nut... And worse yet, the company Web site links to his blog, and his blog has the company logo on the top of it. That is not somebody's "personal" blog when you use your company, a company I give money to, to help direct traffic to this man's uber-right-wing vitriol.

I agree. And it raises an important question of separating personal blogs from professional blogs. As online organizers, we may all be called to blog for campaigns and candidates. Are we obliged to make a clear separation between our personal blogs and our work? I think so.
