I personally think that no company should have the right to pressure its employees regarding the use of social media. I understand the fact that it’s more than wrong to publish confidential information about your company ; on the other side I believe that if I post on my blog or my facebook page a subject that is related to the industry i work in I shouldn’t be questioned by my company.

I keep waiting for this to happen in the entertainment biz as more and more actors and crew Twitter spoilers. And look at Paula Abdul Twittering her resignation from Idol. I imagine some TV PR people are tearing their hair out over what’s getting revealed before they could use the info for a marketing blitz.

As for ESPN, I imagine it’s more about proprietary information they can monetize and less about protecting the company’s image.

I love that the ESPN gets a memo banning Twitter, then tweets about it!

I suspect that ESPN is concerned that they can’t directly monetize information they provide on Twitter. It’s hard to get a Bud Light overlay on each tweet!

We just cracked down on Facebook use during work hours at my day job, but nothing has been said in terms of what we can say. Furthermore, I seem to be the only one updating our company on what is being said in social media. At least I convinced them to pay for Trackur. I'm practically a hero now (ok maybe that's just wishful thinking). .-= jlbraaten´s last blog ..The Top 8 Best Free Audio Podcast Downloads on the Web =-.
