Raleigh blog meetup tonight at Cafe Cyclo
As usual Josh has the details. Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to make it tonight, but all a y'all IBM bloggers in the area, set free by your corporate masters, should definitely show up. Josh (an IBM'er) will want some company and Cyclo is a nice little place with outdoor seating, good coffee, smoothies and fine Vietnamese cuisine.
IBM allows blogging
Andy Wismar is relieved that IBM finally has a blog policy. I can understand that.
I was a little disappointed in the news about IBM's new <a href= "http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/dw_blog_comments.jspa?blog=351&entry=81328">policy, but that's only because I was anticipating "the largest ever corporate blogging initiative." I shoulda known better than to believe a blog I'd never seen before. I'm not disappointed in the policy itself. I think it's basically sound. It's a little on the conservative side, but hey, what do you expect from IBM?
Sun's <a href= "http://tbray.org/ongoing/When/200x/2005/05/16/IBM-Blogging-Policy">Tim Bray comments on some of the differences between Sun and IBM's policy.
Microsoft's <a href= "http://www.25hoursaday.com/weblog/PermaLink.aspx?guid=1a1db972-a8c8-4b75-acef-72667df46d31"> Dare Obasanjo thinks IBM's new policy is a set-back for IBM bloggers.
