Social Media: Time to Regain Control

Spot on again.
“Social” media is out of control in offices across the country" I comprehend that this is true across the world too in urban areas.
It's good to see you write on this as yes, many bloggers are employees and they don't really write about these sensitive stuff. Business people are more willing :)
One thing I don't really dig is that companies firewall the Social Media platforms and even block MSN in the office. Depending on what situation, I would think many are bad calls. Humans are social people and when Social Media is part of their lives already outside work, it may feel like turning them into robots when the connections are taken away from them.
The link you sent is good :) "It can actually serve to motivate people" *Winks*
Another solution is this, they can do what they do as long as it isn't wrong or disrupt other people from what they are doing, as long as they can perform, meet datelines and hit targets. They can stay. If they exceed expectations, they get promoted. :)

Social media is a great first step to what you want to have. That is having mutually fulfilling and rewarding personal and business relationships.
Nothing like getting into a great business deal with a partner you have actually talked to in person. LOL
