in No Facebook; Will Quit - Newlaunches.com on Newlaunches.com
I have to say.... I would be annoyed too. I'm 26 years old. I love facebook. It's my staple during the day. I don't think workplaces should block it. Any good employee knows the difference between when they should be working and have deadlines and socializing online. If that employee doesn't know the difference then they probably shouldn't be working there in the first place.
Even if facebook is blocked the employee can find a different site to waste time on. It doesn't matter. Blocking sites is stupid. Either you have a good employee or bad employee.. Using social networking during the day doesn't mean the person isn't doing their job.

While it may sound crude for employers to block social sites at the workplace,it is becoming clearer of the diminish productiviy of employees due to the frenzy of social sites. I don't think i will quit a job on that basis. There is enough time for me to socialize outside of work time. In a well succint manner, this bolg described the social anxiety facing people about social networking: Social Network Anxiety Disorder ( http://www.internetevolution.com/author.asp?sec...)

I honestly never got into twitter and I don't see the point. Granted I've never delved myself into it but the way I see it is... twitter is letting your friends know what you're doing right? By typing little sentences "I am going to the store" "I am currently at work"
It's like a site for status' as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't use either of these sites. I can let my friends know what I'm doing on facebook through status msgs.. and maybe something that twitter should or could look into is parterning up with facebook to either do an app with status format... or status powered by twitter. Something to that effect. Maybe there is more to twitter then I'm giving credit to but it just seems like another site to me and a waste to constantly update.

Yeah that was always hilarious to me that a *FEATURE* from another app became an app on its own. In fact, it's hilarious (and irritating) to see the status bars on Facebook get spammed by people who post their twitter statuses there. Like good grief, control yourselves.
Twitter is having problems because we the users turned it into what it wasn't supposed to be: a chat room, instead of that quirky little 140 character update(trust me, you can get around that limit, just post over and over).
Twitter is a bit retarded in functionality, but in the social space, it ain't about function. It's about social. It's the trendy hot spot where you go to be seen (well myspace/facebook-- oh nm, it's a losing argument), it's a trendy hot spot for the early web/tech adopters go to be seen. The iPod isn't the best -featured- mp3 player, it just has the sexiness and the social power to command the world domination (for now).
Plurk is fun, shiny, and prolly will stick if the big names show up.
How fickle we humans are. ;)
