Bosses 'should embrace Facebook'
By mjamille28 •
Companies should not dismiss staff who use social networking sites such as Facebook and Bebo at work as merely time-wasters, a Demos study suggests.
Attempts to control employees' use of such software could damage firms in the long run by limiting the way staff communicate, the think tank said.
Social networking can encourage employees to build relationships with colleagues across a firm, it added.
However, businesses are warned to be strict with those who abuse access.
hmmm can i take a peek in your multiply? :)
i only used my multiply account
to store my pictures as i can't
keep them all in my notebook.

Pajju .........
When ur boss HIT tat Fat Accounts Book on your face, its called "FACEBOOK" ...:)
anyway what is facebook ? :))
Sometimes employees just need a quick mental break. we're not robots. and facebook etc are great for that...
but i personally find myself spending MORE time on them when I'm not supposed to be- the whole allure of the forbidden I guess haha........
There's a button to delete all of them in one go :o)
BTW, one of my QC guys spent all day yesterday on Y Messenger. At least it looked that way as he was on it every time I walked past his desk. This despite our corporate policy of no chat except lunch time.
Did you Google it first?
erm....well,i dunno if i'm all that 'popular' as you put it.but yeah,i have a lot of friends who're on facebook and they keep sending out these silly invites.and what d'you think about the latest 'snazzed-up' version of facebook?i liked the previous one better......
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
Morning to u My dear Arien will send u PM later bit busy now :)
I've used facebook for work, actually. It's a great way to keep up with what's going on, and it drove me nuts at my last job that they didn't trust our dedication to our work enough NOT to waste excessive amounts of time.
Basically I think all this hoop-la about blocking sites and monitoring employees web traffic is infantalizing- and treat your employees like children, they'll act like children.
Ohhh !!! The Royal Higheness Is Here !!
Good Morning Pajju Higheness ....
Nuthin crackin here. We had the Crakers y'day ..:)
lol Maggie ........
whats crackin here ?

facebook-er.. Ha-ha!

35 application invites!

application invites..
cheers,
paul

Keep smiling!
Saggi!

and such dumb ones at that...."what lipstick are you"..."what is the color of ur heart"....duh!
Keep smiling!
Saggi!
I've seen many people wasting 2, 3, 4 and 5 hours of their 8 hours shift browsing those. If you will do that at work, then what did you left for yourself later at home?
That is why, we do block those whenever we will go [Facebook, Friendster, Meebo, Orkut, etc ...] not to mention all messengers and web based mails too.
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. (Gautama Buddha)
facebook has these features called
"friend finder" or "people you may know" tool
which will automatically search for your colleagues.
i love facebook, who doesn't? :-)
cheers,
paul
