I loved this comment by J King on Simon Willison's Weblog post about theyworkforyou.com:

"I question their choice of top-level domain. It shows no evidence of being a commercial site, and the domain doesn't help to identify its geographic target. Considering there is hardly anything in its entry page that conclusively pegs it as related to the UK Parliament specifically, this is pretty poor judgement. I suppose it was a matter of expense?

I think it was more to do with the fact that as yet .gov.uk.hack is unavailable

It is hard to argue that ethics and quality set the 'professional journalist' apart from the amateur blogger, if the 'professional' keeps publishing articles so wrong that they have to be deleted.
