Companies that have fired people for blogging (from: Cory Doctorow, Scoble)

[Update] This article on Waterstone's in the UK firing Joe Gordon for his blog. Waterstone's provides a stellar example to tarnish your company's reputation in this age of consumer generated media. Nice work Bastardstone's.

This page contains a list of companies that are purported to have fired employees for blogging "fired, threatened, disciplined, fined or not hired people because of their blog."
