A tale of two companies, and getting fired (or not) for blogging

Stuart Celarier points to a story about Ellen Simonett who was fired from Delta Airlines for blogging. Apparently for showing some pictures of herself and co-workers while wearing Delta uniforms.

Contrast that with Microsoft. Here, Robert Scoble goes off and slams Windows Media Player (a product manufactured by the company that employes him), and it appears Scoble is in no danger of getting canned.

When I first read the Scoble post, I immediately thought "It's a good thing you work for Microsoft. That's the only company on Earth that would let you get away with that." Hmm. +1 to Microsoft.
