Two popular chemistry blogs are closing down and you will need to drop in in the very near future if you want to check them out. It seems that the bloggers have discovered that the internet never sleeps and with the modern search engines the internet never forgets either. In both cases it would appear that the contents of the blog may impact the future of the blogger. The question for the future employer would be "why would I hire someone who may reveal secrets, embarrass or ridicule me on the internet?". It is odd that people would combine the catharsis of a private diary with the adrenaline rush of public performance (let's face it that's what a blog is) and yet never think that they might someday be accountable for what was written. In both cases it appears that the blogs became too popular and the identities of the bloggers became public.
