You've heard that MySpace is dangerous for your kids, but what about for your business? Behold the summer of talking smack. Lots of interns and other summer employees have been logging on and dishing out on blogs and social networking sites about incompetent co-workers, negligent managers, and annoying customers like, uh, you. Others use the sites to gossip or defend the companies against negative comments. A number of companies have banned interns from blogging. But so far social networking sites have escaped most employee conduct codes. With more than 25,000 groups on MySpace's companies and co-workers section alone -- including Publix Pimps, T.J. Maxx needs to die, and The Abercrombie is Evil Awareness Foundation -- no company is immune.
