Facebook Wahala!

Employers are cracking down on access to Facebook in the workplace.
 
Facebook costs employers billionsA poll of 600 employees by IT firm Sophos found 43% were blocked from logging on to the social networking website at work.

Sophos senior technology consultant Graham Cluley said: "More businesses are restricting access to these kinds of sites.

"Employees may not like it, but these websites can represent a security risk if used carelessly."

Meanwhile, an internet security company says workers surfing the site could be costing their employers billions of pounds in lost productivity.

SurfControl found that Australian workers who keep a close watch on their Facebook profile page cost their employers over £2bn a year

Hi,

R u correct or r u correct. I think its kool that companies re banning this stuff, it could be destructive!!!

Imagine workers spending time on facebook than on their actual work. N you know that people like to overdo things. If there was a moderation (which there isn't) it would have been better.

Thank you!

funny,

i spend mo time on Facebook these days than on nairaland

yes o

especially now that all my long lost classmates n friends r popping out of no where!

Facebook is addicting. . .

Good thing you have never browsed it Sienayou would never get offI mean ever! lol

I must say facebook is the bomb. Whenever am online, my facebook is always on. It is so far the best social utility tool to me if you used correctly than hi5.

I use it for my academic group discussions and all other various discussion boards, that morons on this forum would have invaded if it were nairaland, and it has been highly useful to me. I have met a lot of old lost classmates from there, just by typing their names, their profile pops up! It is even fast getting more priority that nairaland for me.

That site is an addiction. I get to know when the latest is happening in my community and participate in it.
Very cool I must comment.
