Blogging is an information revolution that can be so personal it could potentially get you fired from your job. Or at least that's the case for Mark Jen, a former Google employee, who started blogging about his first days on the job. In the blog he complained about the the less than generous health plan and how "Google's free food was an enticement for employees to work past dinner. (Kline & Burstein, pg. 225) Two weeks later Jen was fired. Google may have completely overreacted, but they were making a statement to other bloggers at the company.
Blogging has had a huge impact on businesses no matter what's being sold. Who could answer whether blogging and communication is more influential than blogging and business. And frankly, who really cares? Although this may seem of concern to only a small group of bloggers, it should in fact concern anyone who cares about their business at all.
