I started on Facebook when I had a job at OU that sent out work orders via facebook. This was back when Facebook was just a way to keep up with friends, and didn't have games and stuff.
And you had to have a college domain email address to even sign up, and all your status updates began with the word "is," and it was actually called The Facebook ?
GOV networked computers recently started allowing facebook and there in started the slow decline of productivity of most GOV employees. At one time they thought YouTube would be a good idea too, that lasted a month before that got blocked again.
Yes, back in "The Day."
Before the VC's said "last $10M check until we start seeing returns!"
The problem is not with the access to the sites, the problem is that the job is unsatisfactory, and as such, the employees find other outlets (i.e., facebook, youtube, etc).
As another note, I'm pretty sure fantasy football trumps every other web activity in terms of productivity loss for employees.
I've seen reports that when companies relax internet usage restrictions the employees are more productive. When you clamp it down they spend more time finding ways around it. And that the employees are happier with their jobs.
