blogger have a great article on blogging in the workplace. microsoft, dell, and other large corporations have welcomed blogging* (excluding apple, who hate the internet and all apple fan sites), yet posting the wrong stuff (even when working for microsoft) can get you fired like this guy. thankfully there are some ways to address the issues 1. is to host your own blog on your own server and make it private, or 2. wait till the new version of blogger is out (currently in beta) as it has the ability to make your blogger invite only. other new features include the ability to categorise posts so for example this post could be categorized as "Web Tech", while other posts could be categorised as "US / UK Spelling differences", or "Apple" etc. Annoyingly you can't be logged into both beta and normal blogger at the same time. Check out a beta blog I've just setup here.
blogger ends there article with this:
"If you end up getting yourself fired for blogging, deep down you must have really wanted out of that job. If that's the case, keep blogging. With your newfound status as one of only a handful of people in the world who have been "fired for blogging," you should be able to grab some headlines. Fan those flames! You could wind up on Oprah with a million dollar book deal. Theoretically."
* I wonder, by the time we all have blogs, whether we'll decide that reading and writing is boring and watching and speaking is much better, and we'll all migrate to youtube?
PS - Apple announced some new imacs and mini macs.
