Robert Scoble had dinner with Mark Jen, the Google employee fired for the content of his blog, and posts some thoughts . Robert lets us get to know the Mark a bit better and offers some tips he picked up about employee blogs:
1) Know about strategic dates that are coming up that might make managers or employees more skitish or uptight than usual (Google's pre-IPO employees will be able to sell another round of stock this month).
2) Make sure you really understand the culture of the company you are joining before writing openly about that company. An Apple employee was also at the table at dinner tonight and agreed that the expectations around blogs were quite different at Apple than at Microsoft. If you don't understand that difference you can really get into trouble.
There are four more tips, so go read the whole post.
