Enough has been said around the blogosphere about those employees fired for blogging about their company or showing off some company affiliation. However, what is really most amazing is when a fun and very outspoken out-of-a-job geek from San Francisco (no offense Russ, just stressin' the irony of all this) reacts on his blog to some over-stated market estimation from a top-notch CEO ?
The company incriminated is of course Macromedia, now full speed behind a mobile version of Flash. Marc Canter, Macromedia's founder (he left 10 years ago), of course immediately picked up the story.
So what happens ? The CEO himself shows up on his blog, and leaves a comment to apologize for that overstatement.
Is this finally the 'we the media' paradigm shift coming out ? The ability for every man to make his voice heard ?
Loic, this is another example to update your examples about blogging power, and use it along with Christophe's in Puteaux or the Netflix addicts...
ps: the pix shows the japanese execs at Citigroup apologizing for... corporate practices I suppose. (c) NYTimes.
