I picked up a link to this post from Mr. Scoble’s blog. Its about a blogger who did a postcast with a number of students about emerging technologies and posted it up on the web. He was told in no uncertain terms that kind of behaviour was not allowed.
Now I can kind of understand a business having this kind of reaction, especially when talking about internal operational issues. A university however is a special case I think and this kind of converstation should be encouraged.
Edupodder is obviously taking the issue seriously since it could affect his employment status - but I think it has just been an overreaction from an organisational structure that isn’t really across some of these emerging conversational technologies.
Maybe they should have listened to the podcast
