When the Blogger Blogs, Can the Employer Intervene?

November 9, 2007 by Peter Fletcher

The New York Times: TOM ZELLER Jr.

Citing an example of a Technorati employee who posted to his private blog. The employee was simply asked by his manager whether he thought the post was appropriate. Raises questions about where the personal starts and where does work finish, particularly as it was a satirical piece. The article also hints at the dark side of open blogging policies, such as Sun Microsystems. Sure they may empower employees but it also gives management a way to monitor what is being said by an employee – particularly when the policy requires employees to blog under their real names.
