Mr. Gammel found a good aggregate reference to corporate blogging policies (Yahoo!, IBM, Plaxo and Sun) and posted it for us on the ASAE technology listserves. To me, these rules seem pretty intuitive. They are all basically saying don’t do anything stupid.

  • be nice (i.e. don’t criticize your organization or your manager)
  • don’t give away company secrets/information
  • don’t blog if you have work to do
  • abide by existing company rules.

Everybody has rules for something. So if you are a daily blogger and blogging on a personal blog and not a company blog, don’t abuse it! These basic rules should be simple enough to follow.

I enjoy reading & writing about the web and digital marketing. My day-to-day focuses on ensuring our clients have big wins. That begins with extraordinary website design and UX. The real exciting stuff is helping develop strategies to drive traffic (on-site page optimization) and help conversion rate optimization (getting new sales and / or customers). With all my “other” time, I enjoy exploring new adventures with my 3 daughters and wife.
