Working on the marketing for an online recruitment company called Guru I use social networking in both a professional and personal basis. This makes it extremely difficult to stay away from the messages and updates from my friends while I am online and tweeting, facebooking or using LinkedIn for work. Social sites are also being used more and more as a standard part of the recruitment process. To ensure they don’t miss out on the best jobs, people need to use these tools, and while this is fantastic for recruitment or hiring companies – for managers, they know that their staff now have far more contact points with competition employers than ever before. Healthy competition or an unwanted headache? Rob Baughan This article really interested me and made think about social networking in two completely different ways.

So in the nutshell in social networking everything is fair until you are not addict.

It has huge potential for connecting with those in the community but also has enormous potential for distraction. Personally, I have found it helpful to devote a set amount time in the morning to setting up our company's social media for the day and then largely forgetting about it throughout the day while I work on other projects. It is a warm up of sorts each morning. Thanks for the article. Very nice points.

I don't really mind, I get more work done, although it does stop the creativity sometimes. Social media is bad for the workplace. The internet as a whole is banned at work.

"We need a break every now and then." That's an argument for "always" connected? 2. Improve income and loyalty of customers. A study of ONE business ... and in the study it notes only 5% of it's customers used the FB connect, making it a "niche" marketing device. In addition ... need we talk about what "increased" percentages look like when using initiating baselines and relying on self-reporting? 3. Can't argue with saving time and keeping up with gossip of friends who need to record their every move on FB and Twitter. Of course ... "keeping up" with said "news" creates an artificial need to spend time on such activities, undermining the concept of "saving time." 4. If my business profile on FB is doing "all the hard work for us," I'm screwed. Seriously. 5. Distraction is common already so why not go with the flow? Really? THAT'S truly a (how was it put) "pro of staying connected." Kind of like encouraging office politics because it's always been there too-what a compelling argument. 1. “We need a break every now and then.” That’s an argument for “always” connected?

I don't mean that in a personal sense though. I mean that I'm not connected enough in a business sense. It's important to always stay on top of the "latest and greatest" in your own field.

Fair enough social media can aid and benefit your life but it should'nt be used to live your life. You need to have a break regardless of your situation.
