The issue of employee policies for blogging has been making the rounds of the PR-oriented blogs for a couple months now. I’ve reported on the issue, as has Neville Hobson, Steve Rubel and a host of others. From these reports, it would take about 10 minutes to cobble together a sound policy and another hour to turn it into a document or presentation to take to the employee population.

Or, you could spend better than 1,000 euros (at least, I assume they’re euros) for a site license or more than 3,000 thousand for an enterprise license to buy a presentation ready-made from an Irish company called Research and Markets.  I’m not willing to pony up those kinds of dollars to see if the report reflects the great advice that’s already been published by people willing to share their thoughts and materials in the online community. But I wouldn’t be a bit surprised. If anybody pays real money for this presentation, please have them contact me. I have a bridge in New York I’d like to sell them.

Not that I’d trust this report to begin with, since the promotional copy begins, “Blogging is rapidly emerging as a threat to Internet users.” Micropersuasion has already filed this one under d-u-m-b.
