Scoble: “I broke a few rules”

This is something that anyone blogging “in the clear” needs to be aware of, the sad fact is that most companies don’t trust their employees to and have employee guidelines that explicitly prohibit the kind of blogging that many people engage in, including myself. SAP has restrictions but like Microsoft has chosen to extend a lot of latitude to employee bloggers, and I also know that we are working on revising the guidelines to be officially accomodating. I received an email today about a Proofpoint survey of “294 decision-makers at large U.S. companies” that underscores this point by determining that “nearly 1 in 5 companies (17.3%) has disciplined an employee for disobeying blog or message board policies.”

“Actually, I broke a few rules. I wasn’t supposed to talk to reporters and I always did anyway. But I was scared about that in the first year.”
