Work blog helps tsunami survivors
An article in today's Guardian (see G2 section) looks at a blog kept by a Japanese nurse in the aftermath of the recent tsunami.
A quick snippet from the article:
...Painstakingly tapped into the nurse's mobile phone at the end of exhausting days touring evacuation zones and hospitals, the blog chronicles eight days that begin with trepidation and end with a reluctant return to Tokyo.
In between, there are moments of despair and optimism, even humour.
And floods of tears...

The law of work blogging
I just came across a blog article about work-related blogs that comes via the Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal.
It's called "Blog Wars: Employer Controls and Employee Rights Regarding Personal Blogging".
It's written by Kyle Mitchell.
The article is based on USA labour law but worth a look whatever the case may be.
