Facebook wastes employees time ? Do you agree ??

A new study proves (as if we needed it) that many employees spend a chunk of the work day on Facebook. But does that mean you should do anything about it?

On average, employees spend about 1.5% of their working hours updating, friending, messaging, etc., according to a new survey of office workers by Nucleus Research.

Some of the other findings, which may or may not come as much of a surprise:

* Nearly two-thirds of employed Facebook users go on the site during work
* Of that number, employees spend an average of 15 minutes a day on Facebook, and
* 87% of those who use Facebook at work can’t articulate a clear business reason for doing it.

Does this mean it’s time to cut off access to social networking sites once and for all? The folks at Nucleus recommend companies consider it, suggesting it could result in a 1.5% productivity gain.

Social Networks Boon or Bane ?

Dear Friends,

I was wondering what is the purpose of signing up with so many social / professional networking sites ? There are many more but i am just listing below 15 of them. Just look at the list below :

Facebook
Toostep
Bluechip Experts
Multiply
Ibibo
Ringo
Hi5
Stumble upon
Connecture
Plaxo
Tagged
Brijj
Joso
Yaari
Myspace
Wayn

If one were to be a member then his full time activity is to keep posting in these places only ! Will there be churn and some of them will get wound up ? Only time will tell.

How are linkedin members are managing so many a/cs and what is your advise to other members as to wht is the acceptable level of sites.

Please rank them in terms of utility and VFT (value for time)
