As internet research was gradually established as a discipline, whose focus and/or locus is the internet (Rall, 2007), ethical issues came to the fore. These issues, often centering around the shifting concept of privacy and ownership of text, consider new practices and communications online, and increasingly, the conduct of ethical research within various sites on the internet. This chapter draws on a five year study of young people's blogs in Ireland which used an ethnographic approach to two different groups of bloggers, varying in age from 17 to 23. Ethical issues were identified from the start of the project, and indeed included at design stage; some of the issues arose from the multidisciplinary nature of internet research, and these will be examined in this chapter in the first place; current recommendations available to the internet researcher will be addressed, as well as the ethical practices of researchers in the field of blogging. Several approaches and ethical solutions will be reported from within the qualitative research tradition. This chapter will then examine issues which have been identified as "conceptual gaps" by Zimmer (2010), illustrated in light of this ethnographic study of young Irish bloggers, in particular the concept of privacy.
