Nick's is a printed book. Marco's is a blog entry. I don't know what is the purpose of the other two, but how to refer to online resources from printed media isn't completely clear to me, and this is of course changing with the emergence of E-journals and E-books.
I've been mulling this over as well.
It's a completely different world now. Publications used to be vetted by editors and peer review panels, now anyone has the capability of ePublishing (whether in book or blog form) and while there's a lot of nonsense out there, there is also some excellent professional work.
If the person has their own domain and blog and a certain amount of permanence, it's not as difficult to cite the source. When the information is more ephemeral or written under a pseudo, it's not as easy to credit (or even to find again).
