Karl Ribas.com Blog Disclaimer
We all understand that a Blog, even though sometimes seen as an authoritive presence on the Internet, is a place where opinions and personal thoughts are shared. With that, a question submerges. Do all Blog visitors understand whose opinions they are in fact reading? I've recently wondered if they do.
I've never thought to use a disclaimer because I've always felt that the term "Blog" simply implied to readers that they were indeed reading my views and opinions. I mean the title clearly says "The Karl Ribas.com Blog"... does it not? But the truth is, Bloggers should not depend solely on the notion that all readers are going to understand this concept, because not all will.
Just imagine if a search engine newbie were to come across Matt's Blog (and I am sure that it happens a lot). Because Matt is a well known representative of Google, I can easily see how that one person may mistakenly take his views to be those of his employer... when in fact they may or may not be.
Going back to the subject at hand, I have never thought that the commentary that I share with you all on a weekly basis would ever merit the need for a disclaimer (and frankly I still don't believe so), but because I do find myself expressing more and more of my own personal thoughts and beliefs about various subjects I figured now is an appropriate time to outline one.
Therefore, I want to take a quick moment and let the following be known:
With that being said, enjoy!
