Hi Alex! Okay, I'll challenge this, LOL! Articles that are found in subscription databases are constantly cited, and all you have to do is provide info about your level of access.
What makes MySpace or Livejournal different from database collections?
Presumably journal articles have already gone through the local ethics/institutional review process as they're written. We also have an expectation that journal articles are written with the intent of publication - they're not accidental. --e

I think that any blog that requires any sort of log in is off limits, even if anyone can randomly log in to gain access. I'd be willing to be challenged on that, but I think of it as a rule of thumb. So, for example, some MySpace and Livejournal pages are only available to subscribers (same deal for most social network profiles), and I think these have to be handled differently.
