THE UNBEARABLE RIGHTNESS OF NICK DENTON: My TechCentralStation column is up. Excerpt: “On the one hand, we’ve started to see a switch: Where an earlier generation of articles on employee-blogging warned the employees about the danger of retribution from the employers, a newer version of the story warns employers about the power of the bloggers in their midst. On the other hand, it’s hard for organizations to operate when dissent becomes easier, and more popular, than actually running things or doing work.”

UPDATE: Reader Jeff Govek emails: “If an organization is such that dissent is more popular than real work, then employee-blogging is the least of that organization’s problems.”
