Y! Blogging Guidelines You Ask?
Because it’s a good idea.
Okay, puns aside. Yahoo! has posted it’s Employee Blogging Guidelines (25k, PDF), according to a post late yesterday on Jeremy Zawodny’s blog.
There are three reasons why this is a good thing. Well, there’s more of course, but I am only typing three.
- The guidelines exist and are available to the public.
- They are guidelines first, meaning there is a certain level of allowance for drifting from the guidelines. If this was mandate policy, there would be no drifting allowed and that brings us to number three.
- The document reads like a blog post and isn’t filled with legal limbic inhibitors.
It’s just over two pages long, so take a look and see if something like this is appropriate for your company. Which it probably is. And we can help you write it.
