Disclaimer

The views expressed throughout this weblog represent my personal vantage point and not necessarily those of my employer.

I don't write about anything that takes place inside the place where I work. If I go out to a presentation, I may post those notes to Experimental Space. However, if I have a conversation at work with a co-worker on a non-work subject, I don't even post that.

I need to update this disclaimer and create my blogging code of ethics. For now I'll share some sources that will contribute to my development of my own position. At the Blogher conference I met a blogger from Sun, and recall that they encouraging blogging from all levels. Also at the 2007 She's Geeky conference I had lunch with Charlene Li and others.  I was very glad I did.

I found and am working on digesting a list of some blogging policies found and compiled by Forrester's Charlene Li (see Blogging policy examples) that includes:

• Harvard Law School
• Sarasota Herald Tribune
• Sun Microsystems
• The Corporate Weblog Manifesto

• I will tell the truth.
  
• I will write deliberately and with accuracy.
• I will acknowledge and correct mistakes promptly.
• I will preserve the original post, using notations to show where I have made changes so as to maintain the integrity of my publishing.
• I will never delete a post.
• I will not delete comments unless they are spam or off-topic.
• I will reply to emails and comments when appropriate, and do so promptly.
• I will strive for high quality with every post -- including basic spellchecking.
• I will stay on topic.
• I will disagree with other opinions respectfully.
• I will link to online references and original source materials directly.
• I will disclose conflicts of interest.
• I will keep private issues and topics private, since discussing private issues would jeopardize my personal and work relationships.
