Be carefull out there

1 03 2008

Blogs on blogs.safira.pt, by default, are public. As you well know, this means your posts are accessible to anyone on the internet. We believe this encourages you to create your blog, and contribute to the community of your choice.

By blogging under the safira.pt domain, your opinions and the information you give away on your blog may be regarded by anyone from the outside as being related to, and endorsed by, our company. This carries some responsibilities.

SAFIRA is developing a simple weblog policy and will publish it soon. Until then, be reasonable, and follow some simple, common sense, ground rules when blogging.

Take care not to disclose customer information. Customers trust us with their information, and don’t expect us to be talking about them without their knowledge or authorization. Imagine your doctor blogging about your medical condition.

Take care not to give away customer or company property.  You all have access to digital assets, such as code or documentation, that are a property of Safira or it’s customers. If you publish them on your blog, you might be giving away something that is not yours.

Be responsible for the comments as well. Don’t be afraid to moderate, and remember that it’s up to you to decide if *anyone* can comment or only members of the community.

Be respectful of our company, your colleagues, our customers, our partners and our competitors.

Watch your language.

More than being careful, be respectful when blogging. Be 2.0.
