"Your Fired" for Blogging...

Oh those famous last 2 words of Donald Trump and Sir Alan Sugar.
Who would have thought that the liberty of speech in your personal blog could get you canned at work!
This recently happened to a Waterstones employee for his act venting on his own personal blog.

Waterstones claims that the references used in his blog about his job and the company provide right for dismisal but I wonder by this individual blogging about their treatment from the company cause further harm than good, and will it be towards the company or towards the employee.

This makes me think of a similar case of how blogs can have negative impacts on companies if they fail to address them in the or with the correct manner. Some examples of the top of my head are the Kryptonite, the bicycle lock case or Dell computers and how the blogs about their products and services resulted in the company taking a reative rather than a corrective reaction approach as they both failed to recognize the power of blogospheres. I feel that Waterstones in Edinburgh may be having the same reaction.

blog email - test

Since starting my research i myself that i must test
out all the capabilities of blogs.

All the literature talks about how easy they are to
do, maintain, and most importantly you don't have to
be a rocket scientist or computer geek to understand
how to do it.

Im starting to think that blogging is giving a simple,
and conveinant way to communicate with via the web
without having a degree in computer'speak or
geek'speak ive also heard it been called.

This will be my first email blog and i also hope to
try some other mediums of blog posting like moblogging
(with your mobile phone) and podcasting (basically
like a taped radio show).

I wish myself luck in actuallly getting this to work
despite being told its easy to do!
