Coporate Blogging Guidelines

by Des Walsh on December 20th, 2006

Ed Yourdon has done some quick googling and drawn up a handy list of “Sample Corporate Blogging Policies” (via Justin Patten’s blog , and thanks to Noric for the heads up).

IBM’s Blogging Guidelines from May 2005
Sun Microsystem’s Blogging Policy which links to the company’s Blogging Guidelines (date not known) - interesting, succinct, unambiguous.
Yahoo!’s Personal Blog Guidelines - via a link to a post by Jeremy Zawodny
Ray Ozzie’s weblog guidelines for Groove (from 2002).
Charlene Li’s Sample Corporate Blogging Policy from November 2004. Really a set of points to check rather than an elaborated policy. A good checklist nonetheless.

Another set of guidelines which belongs in any corporate blogging reference list is the Thomas Nelson Blogging Guidelines (early 2005) document, which is reproduced approvingly in both Jeremy Wright’s Blog Marketing Book and Debbie Weil’s The Corporate Blogging Book.
