Tim Bray reports that Sun Microsystems has opened up blogs.sun.com . He says,
there’s an internal email going out to the whole company Monday officially reinforcing that blogging policy, encouraging everyone to write, and pointing them at blogs.sun.com
Tim describes the policy meeting where this all started:
It turned out that Sun had an official policy in place from years gone by, saying that speaking up in public without management and legal approval was a firing offense. Jonathan’s [38-year old Sun Microsystems President and Chief Operating Officer] reaction to this discovery wasn’t printable
Checking Technorati for Tim’s piece brought up Richard Giles, on blogs.sun.com itself, who mentions the Cluetrain Manifesto (people of earth…), the often quoted, slightly overheated dotcom boom statement of belief and intent about business, markets, customers and the web.
