OK--I guess I can now ethically promote my own book (actually two), since the question was asked on the list ;-).... Check out: Digital Dilemmas: Ethical Issues for Online Media Professionals (Blackwell, 2003)--focuses on journalistic ethical issues when working online... Also: The Art of Strategic Listening: Finding Business Intelligence Via Blogs and Social Media--(Paramount, 2008) has a full chapter on ethical issues when doing qualitative research on the Web. Hope these are helpful, and would be happy to respond to any questions on this matter directly.
