While only a small number of companies have actually implemented a Blog Policy, is your company have or is trying to create something similar? It may not be specifically a blog policy but something with a wider scope.
I recently had a small incident with one company that I am working for right now. Though it has become my personal policy not to publish specific details of what I do or anything closely resembling the work that we do around here, I sometimes get the “slip-of-the-tongue” sort of way about some minute details.
It happened last week when one of the company execs found out about my blog after searching for new links in Google about the corporate brand — right on the first page of the search results! I was alerted about this and I promptly edited the relevant texts, wondering how I could have missed this small detail in the first place.
Too late now as Google had already cached theURL. We’d have to wait for a month before it is purged from Google’s search results again.
(Btw, Yahoo! has just published its Personal Blog Guidelines.)
if you guys are looking for a job, be careful what you put in your blogs since employers now are smarting up about interviewees–they’re starting to search for candidates’ blogs. while that is not yet prevalent in the philippines, we can never be sure.
