Mark Jen, the fired Google blogger bounces back with another job and writes a blogging policy, as reported by the SF Gate. There are two approaches: lock it down or let it go. In the let it go approach, businesses let employess blog with the “don’t blog anything that can be deposed in a court” approach. For locking it down, see Apple. There’s no Apple employee blogs for a reason.
The dooce topic comes up everytime I speak and was debated at the last BBS 05. I always recommend that business allow blogging with guidelines. Those guidelines should be, “if you say something you shouldn’t, you’ll be fired.”
