My Life With IT

There are certain policies to be known. It is known that there are certain companies that dislike their workers blogging about work even without giving away any clues. I can also see why a certain company dislike bloggers. That company has official bloggers in its portal. In addition, they look as if they are able to voice their own opinions.

However, after going through it for some time, I realise that the topics are outdated. As any good blogger know, data must be fresh online. You must be the first publish any data so that you will be the pioneer of the data and all the trackbacks or ping backs will belong to you most of the time.

Google is known for indexing sites that have been around for a long time. Work isn’t meant for the online eyes. Companies are not ready for that. I doubt they ever will as the cache is known for its long memory. I have blogged about work but never where I have worked in.

I don’t give out names of the companies I have worked for and neither do I even dare to reveal to any manager that I am blogging. It’s dangerous. However, with my Facebook account linking to the blogs, I’m starting to wonder if I should have even linked them in my Facebook.

The 1st rule of blogging for personal sites is never to blog about the company’s name. You never know when your boss is going to google for you. 2nd rule, no real names on blogs. I am wondering if some blog awards like omy is giving out has a purpose besides giving out awards. They require real names and NRIC for identification purpose.
