Recap: Pownce is a new Web 2.0 site started by Kevin Rose of Digg.com fame. While it&#8217;s not particularly unique (see Twitter, Jaiku, etc) it is newsworthy and has been written up in BusinessWeek and has been the buzz of Silicon Valley.

She’s internationally recognized in "Who's Who in America", with IMDb credits, and the article carried solid references, and her work was blessed by the Pope. The articles were clearly deleted out of personal animosity. It's appalling. I interviewed my mother twice in 2006 and wrote an article about her for Wikipedia.

We studied the Mary Spicuzza article in my journalism class. It was a very interesting discussion about whether Spicuzza should have or should have not been fired for using her newspaper's resources to undertake a personal matter involving her sister. A textbook case, the professor said. Hey - this is interesting. We studied the Mary Spicuzza article in my journalism class.

Mary decided to leave the paper to take a job with a local documentary filmmaker. She gave her notice before the Wikipedia story was published. She disclosed to me early in the reporting process her sister's fights with Griot and her sister's role is mentioned high up in our story. Bottom line: We stand by the story.
