Enterprise Blogging: War Stories
There's been at least one very public war story from the field in terms of enterprise blogging sans corporate policy - and this one has a fatality. Seems that Mark Jen's foray into blogging on his experiences as a Google employee went awry pretty quickly. Despite a single-day record of 60,000 unique visitors, Google was not amused by the inclusion of "sensitive information about finances and products." Here's the full story.
Jen is no longer a Google employee, fired on Jan 28th after 11 days of work. He maintains that Google gave him no reason for the termination. He continues to blog at 99zeros with a subhead of "Life After Google."
Although many may remain skeptical about blogging's potential impact on enterprise collaboration and productivity, the evolution of use should spur enterprises to take a look at P&P development sooner, rather than later.
