CEO of Employment Law Alliance, Steve Hirschfield claims that a poll of 1000 adults, conducted in January 2006, finds that 5% of US workers maintain a blog, whilst only 15% of their employers have a policy directly dealing with blogging practice. The article concludes that there may be as many as 10 million bloggers in the US at the time of the report.
This indicates the potential for litigation and potential conflict between employees and employers is significant, and with the number of blogs growing daily the problem is not about to go away.
