Yahoo! releases own corporate blogging guidelines
Wednesday

Great! First it was IBM. Now it’s Yahoo! Jeremy Zawodny posts on Yahoo!’s Employee Blog Guidelines. He offers the official version and his own advice.
Basically, just about anyone can and will read what you publish. So
keep that in mind. If you’re worried about what your Mom, manager,
ex-coworker, or Terry Semel would think, listen to that instinct. And
realize that once a cat is out of the bag, you can never get the damned
thing back in. The blog world is incredibly efficient at spreading
rumors, secrets, rants, hyperbole, and your mistakes.
On a positive note, he says he keeps on blogging because he enjoys the activity.
The fact that our executive team is giving is their official recognition and endorsement says a lot about the future of Yahoo.
I’ve yet to review the full text of the official version. I’ll post updates when I get to go over it.
