…she sent me this article, When Is Social Networking Kosher In The Office? from NPR. You can read it or listen to it.
I had to share this one, because we hear companies discussing this all the time – the pros and cons of social networking. This story talks about Yammer as one workplace solution for team microblogging.
Yammer takes the basic idea behind Twitter and moves it into the workplace, where it is only accessible via SSL to employees with a valid company email (and other security restrictions).
Yammer might be a useful tool to manage projects and keep track of what teammates or employees are doing without exposing their “Tweets” to the whole world.
New stats are out about Twitter – it just keeps growing. I watch biz people online all day doing it…when do they get the work done? Or is social networking a part of their job? The latter, I suspect… Enjoy the day.
