Charlotte Li, writing on Forrester's blog, has posted sample corporate blogging policies.
She's put these, and a suggested blogger code of ethics in a public wiki
Sample Corporate Blogging policy
- Make it clear that the views expressed in the blog are yours alone and do not necessarily represent the views of your employer.
Respect the companyís confidentiality and proprietary information.
- Ask your manager if you have any questions about what is appropriate to include in your blog.
- Be respectful to the company, employees, customers, partners, and competitors.
- Understand when the company asks that topics not be discussed for confidentiality or legal compliance reasons.
- Ensure that your blogging activity does not interfere with your work commitments.
Found out that a fellow blogger has just been fined for comment he made in a blog. I guess it was bound to happen sometime, but it is a sad day. Let's hope that it doesn't crush the spirit of blogging. Follow the link for the full info: http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/5956308085341507/
