Good to know that the issues and polices around corporate blogging are being tackled head on. @Nate - Absolutely. As a client, I'd be much more likely to pay top dollar for a resource that was publically recognized as a leader in her field (as much as I'd like to take account rep's word for it) :)! @Paul – Thanks, I’ll check out the podcast.

Corporate blogs should not be a press release by a different name. And as far as the lawyers are concerned, as a consumer I would rather buy products from a company who fires employees who fly off the handle in a public forum, that wonder what moron is hiding behind the kid gloves of lawyerly redlining. Expose your workforce to the larger room. Especially in consulting. If no one wants to pay for your star blogger, perhaps he shouldn't be billed at 5k/day. @Jay – Totally agree (shocker).

A company's ability to do it, and do it well, will become increasingly demanded by customers. @e2.0h lawyer – Carr has an interesting perspective – but I disagree – dialoguing with the marketplace is more then ideology.

As <a href="http://www.roughtype.com/archives/2006/03/seven_rules_for.php" rel="nofollow">Nicholas Carr has stated</a> the potential risks might outway the potential gains. I think there needs to be some degree of top down control on corporate blogging. Personally, if I have built a company from the ground up, I do not want my company's image tarnished by an off-the-wall employee who feels that this right to free speech is more important than my company's image. This is especially true in the context of his corporate-sponsored blog. I like's Carr's last piece of advice: "Call in the lawyers. I hate to say it, but if you're allowing your employees to blog on your dime, you're liable for what they write. Better safe than sued."
