Corporate Blogging Policies: Feedster
Feedster is a company which provides a specialized search engine and an advertising network. But unlike companies such as Google, Feedster searches only XML-based RSS feeds and monitors over five million syndicated feeds, including many blogs. So it’s just natural that Feedster established a corporate blogging policy, even if it has only about ten employees today.
Here is a summary of the six basic principles of Feedster’s corporate blogging policy.
- Please make it clear to your readers that the views you express are yours alone and that they do not necessarily reflect the views of Feedster.
- Be careful to avoid disclosing any information that is confidential or proprietary to the company.
- Please consult your manager if you have questions about the appropriateness of publishing documents related to the company’s business.
- Be respectful to the company, our employees, our customers, our partners and affiliates, and others (including our competitors).
- Ask permission before using company trademarks or reproducing company material on your site.
- And remember that you may be asked to suspend your blogging activity if the company believes it’s necessary for legal reasons.
Do you think these rules are appropriate? Personally, I think they are.
