From Lunch with Google and Publishers Australia:"Google don’t have a social media policy – their employees can be on any SM site they choose and use them in any manner"
Google don’t have a social media policy – their employees can be on any social media sites they choose and use them in whatever manner they see fit. How about that? Think of all the secrets worth billions that could get out but don’t. A great example of trusting your employees.
Back in the distant 2005, a Google employee was dismissed after commenting on Google corporate culture and future products on his personal blog: http://bit.ly/bLuxwj
A lot of people commented that this widely-reported mishap could have been prevented if Google had an adequate guidance for bloggers/employees.

@DrVes @dreamingspires If Google has no SM policy for employees http://bit.ly/cK0PWq - Did they mention Mark Jen at all? http://bit.ly/bLuxwj
@dreamingspires Interesting - no mention.of Mark Jen (this was a conversation post presentations). She did mention that sometimes slipups happen, eg leaving calender up (briefly) after a presentation - this was a convo w a Google person in adsense/adwords part of the business. She mentioned how google has gone from small business in cramped office to corporation - has been w Google 5 yrs & experienced both. The culture is now changing less freedom and global - must say the google people were great - ordinary sydneysiders & a frenchman!). If Google has no SM policy for employees http://bit.ly/cK0PWq they will still fire employees for inapproriate blogging http://bit.ly/bLuxwj
