I see for the future lawsuits flying every which way because of blogging. Totally agree, companies that do not institute blogging policy ASAP are tripping up. On the bloggers´side, we need practical legal education for all, including that which covers employment issues. I think that employees that start writing stuff like the bookstore employee that´s crying now because he was sacked should know better. You want to call your boss an ass publicly, whether it´s true or not, it´s beside the point, you know what that´s going to achieve with your boss. In a way, I am surprised more conflicts, including lawsuits, have not yet arised from people blogging all kinds of stuff, including personal stuff.
