Cause for pause
I read today that Jeremy Wright was fired for blogging. There's much discussion on the post's comments about legal recourse and other ways to fight back. I hope it comes to something for him.
It gave me pause because I continue to believe that blogging is good for business. While corporate communications folks may be frightened of it, I wonder if blogs haven't been given a bad rap.
In a world where things move and change so quickly, we aren't competing on secrets anymore -- we're competing on the quality of our ideas and how quickly we can make them reality. The more voices and instantaneous commentary you can generate, the more interest/buzz/excitement there will be as you go.

Fear drives people to punish those that make them fearful.
Insecure management fears employees as much as they fear customers and reporters. When an employee becomes a citizen publisher with access to millions of people, this raises the paranoia level to unbelievable heights.
I'm completing a book on 21st century employment and it needs a new chapter about "not scaring your management".
Thanks for the link to Jeremy's post.
