Anti-social media?
More than half of CIOs surveyed by placement firm Robert Half Technology said that their organizations prohibit any use of social-networking tools such as Twitter, Facebook and
MySpace. Dave Willmer, executive director of Robert Half Technology, said it is understandable that some companies would limit employee access to social-networking sites because usage can divert users’ attention from their priorities, but that for some professions the sites can be leveraged “as effective business tools.” He said common sense should dictate how social-networking tools are used, even during business hours.
