Geek In Disguise

A colleague of mine in our UK HR department recently asked me if I'd chat to The HR Director (the magazine, not our man DaveG) about technology and I gladly accepted.

Given blogging is my hobby horse (my team will confirm that!) it seemed like the logical thing to chat with the magazine about. To my surprise they were uninterested enough to publish an article on this which I contributed to and it has just been released. Thanks to the guys over there for turning my ramblings in to readable copy :)

They finished up with 5 good tips

1. Identify yourself and who you work for
2. Respect copyright, other people's views and be respectful of confidentiality both of your own company and others
3. Link to others who are talking about the same topics and cite them appropriately
4. Add value and be interesting!
5. Expect and accept criticism.

Only wish I'd asked them to put a link to my blog at the end of the article. Doh....
