LaShawn Barber writes about Open Source Media and the criticism it’s been getting from various conservative bloggers. I’ll admit to having no interest in Open Source Media myself, even if I had enough traffic that ads would generate revenue. I don’t see any real reason to criticize them, though, except for the name change. Open Source Media uses the acronym “OSM”, which seems vaguely familiar to me. It requires a doubletake when I go to one of my favorite blogs and see them talking about “OSM.”

It’s not a serious complaint, just a coincidence that’s notable for me and, quite rightly, not even a blip on the radar for Open Source Media.
