Social networking in working hours

Posted by Victoire on Jul 17, 2009 in Companies, Web 2.0

I read an interesting factoid on the KMTalk website today:

Workers who spend time on social networking web sites such as Facebook could be costing UK firms over US $250 million a day, a study has calculated. According to employment law firm Peninsula, 233 million hours are lost every month as a result of employees “wasting time” on social networking.

Fascinating when we are in the midst of the “social media bubble” / moving downward on the Gartner hype curve (see The social media paradox: success & time for an interesting read in this regard).
