Social Networking at Work: Fear Not Facebook, MySpace?

Will They Come?

Thank you for the great post!

You have to remember that people should want to discuss your product or have discussions through your company. That means your product offering has to be engaging, while compelling at the same time.

Your virtual village (http://sparxoo.com/?p=285) has to mean something to your audience for it to be a success. Step outside of your shoes and think about your customers. Will they benefit from your social network? If the answer is yes, Ning.com is a great virtual village developer for not-so-tech-savvy entrepreneurs.

Thanks,

Ethan

The issue isn’t about visiting Facebook, YouTube or even ESPN a couple of minutes each day – these things become addictive and can lead to hours of abuse. According to a new report by Nielsen Online, most online videos in the U.S. are watched at work between 9am and 5pm during the work week. Even the online porn industry confirms that the most popular time spent on their sites is during work hours. And think about it – most companies block porn sites. This isn’t just a waste of employer paid time – it robs the organization of bandwidth, causes IT headaches due to downloaded malware and reduced storage capacity and opens up organizations to legal issues such as sexual harassment, illegal media downloads and potentially embarrassing public relations nightmares such as sexual predators and child porn arrests. According to an eye opening survey conducted by monitoring vendor SpectorSoft of its customers who use that company's Spector 360 PC and Internet monitoring software – 96% said the software confirmed their suspicions. 89% of the companies surveyed found more abuse than they expected, with 28% finding "far more" abuse. We've seen it. We've stopped it!
We found that once we installed Spector 360 employees policed themselves - the product is a great deterrent to bad behavior and we have also seen reduced bandwidth, storage and even printer usage.

Whatver. All these companies

Whatver. All these companies worry about the most is profit. Even these social networking sites are for profit and not for the entertainment of the masses. Look how the advertisers have littered Youtube, MySpace, and other social networking sites. Screw your products, and I wonder how many close/skip your adds compared to the less gullible who fall for the trick.

for a short time

orgnizations should have access to the social networking sites atleast to visit the site for a short period of time everyday. give them a time limit and after that they wont be able to access these sites. i think this will work.
