Well, this is interesting to me. I work for Sun Microsystems as I explained earlier, and Sun is doing this interesting experiment in transparency. We have open blog capabilities for any employee to use to write to the public, and there are blogging opportunities through java.net and other places Sun owns.As I've been writing on this blog, there's a tension in being an employee who is also

CBS News to Launch Broadband News NetworkThis details a shift by CBS News towards a 24-hour delivery schedule of news content to the cbsnews.com website. A centerpiece is a blog, "public eye", designed to provide greater openness and transparency to newsgathering.The home page is here: http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/publiceye/main500486.shtmlThe blog itself only shows entries from today,

What if you accidentally (or not) reveal corporate strategy? The link is to a dilbert comic that's truly apropos.The typical policy is that employees don't reveal corporate strategies unless you're specifically blessed and sanctified by management and legal to do so. Management tends to like to keep strategy secret, hence the general secrecy rule. And, there is good reason to this as

There's an interesting article on the IT Managers Journal: Enterprise blogs: Business boost or timewaster?The corporation forms a wall that encompasses the employees activities. The tradition is that what happens at work stays at work, and isn't discussed outside work. Except maybe with your wife/husband. There's some things you'll say within the corporate wall that you won't say outside the

My first thought in being a corporate blogger is, what can I say or not say?For example, a few weeks ago I posted something on my java.net blog which turned out to be legally innacurate, and could potentially harm my employer. One of my co-workers saw it and asked me to post a clarification, which I've done.The fact is, as an employee representing the company, writing in a venue owned by the

This is my first post here, so I thought to introduce myself.Hi, I am David, and I am a blogger. I am so into blogging that I got my boss to agree to allow me to spend part of my worktime blogging, and to encourage others in the team to do blogging themselves. Does that make me an addict?My other blogs are at 7gen.com, blogs.sun.com, and java.net. The first is my personal blog, on a domain that
