Mashable: Is Social Media Costing the UK Billions in Worker Productivity?

“The MyJobGroup stats are believable, but it is more reasonable to conclude that social media usage in the workplace is on the rise and becoming commonplace. As for lost productivity, we’re pretty confident that those eating up company time on social networking sites were likely finding other ways to waste away an hour or more a day before the advent of Twitter and Facebook.” Platitude. Social media’s an additional distraction without a direct dollar value. “Additional” in that it never existed before. Companies will be casting increasingly withering looks upon the practice, I think, until value can be proven.
