Blogs and the workplace

Although we are currently exploring and using Flickr in fun and creative ways, and posting our experiences in our respective Vermont's 23 Things blogs, blogs and the workplace can also spell trouble.

Came across this reminder in the New York Times today, "CNN Producer says he was fired for blogging", on how sometimes personal views on blogs may be perceived negatively by employers. In this case, resulting in job termination for violation of company policy. I think some good points are made here about where the line is drawn- over comments on social networking sites, or even anything posted in an online forum can be considered by the company. We even get to find out what the NY Times own blog policy is for their employees.
