So, I've got a blog . . . Now what?

Everyone seems to be jumping on the blog bandwagon so I thought I'd give it a go as well. Haven't really got a clue what I'm going to talk about, but that's never really stopped me from saying something, so . . .

BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | Who owns your e-mails?

I've come up with an award for businesses who make colossally huge blunders. I call it the Aluminum Brazzie. It almost goes without saying that the first recipient of the Al Brazzie is Enron. If Bush were a business, he would be the second recipient for the hash he's made out of the War on Terror. Oh, what the heck, let him have it. He more than deserves it.

The third Al Brazzie goes to Waterstone's for terminating Joe Gordon.

And the fourth goes to Yahoo! USA for not giving a father access to his son's email account. Read the article.

I like it - you should start a list and add to it with a link.

I also agree with you choices but I have one question - How old was the son? You know where I work. I am not allowed to talk to parents about their childrens grades because of a privacy clause. I can't even talk to the parents of kids who are under 18 - personally I don't agree with that part of the clause but I have no say.

I think he was 20. The problem is not the person's age. It is the policy Yahoo! USA has in place about not turning over email access to next of kin in the event of a death. Serveral of the other freebie email providers specifically have clauses in their privacy agreements that state the account will be transferred to a family member in the event of death which seems to be the fair and right thing to do.
