Through content and discourse analysis we explore whether the private life of persons, is being commented upon in the Greek blogosphere, concerning their social status, their political identity and the aspect of their private life that is being commented upon. Important theoretical and practical issues concerning the blogosphere are being addressed; do anonymity/pseudonimity within the blogosphere favour the negative commenting of individuals, especially or the protagonists in the public sphere? What are the indices of such negative commenting discourse? Which kinds of blogs are more likely to favour negative commenting? Do their authors provide evidence or other documentation?
