Caution, Balwant Sharma: you could get Dooced !!

Came across this word - Dooced - on

UrbanDictionaryDOTcom

dooced : Getting fired because of something that you wrote in your blog.

"Blogger Heather B. Armstrong coined the phrase in 2002, after she was fired from her Web design job
for writing about work and colleagues on her blog, DooceDOTcom"

Recently, Delta Air Lines flight attendant Ellen Simonetti was fired, she said, for what her supervisor
called a misuse of uniform.

Simonetti had posted on her personal blog, Queen of Sky (now called Diary of a Fired Flight Attendant),
pictures of herself, in her uniform, on an empty plane. Her blog also contained thinly veiled work stories.

You must Thank God for low internet usage and lower blog readership (by your bosses) on Rediff. !!

:~D
