Just heard it: blogging in the news

I just heard a bit about blogs on the PBS Newshour. Seems that the Washington Post shut down comments on their blog. Here's the Newshour story (you'll need to scroll down to find Tuesday and then the headline "Online Feedback Goes Offline"). To find out more, try searching on Technorati.

Any comments on this story? As up-and-coming bloggers, does it give you pause at all?
