Comments on: Is Social Media Causing American Workers to be Less Productive? http://www.thebloggersbulletin.com/2010/01/27/social-media-american-workers-less-productive/ "The Bulletin For The Business Blogger" Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:06:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Chris Franklin http://www.thebloggersbulletin.com/2010/01/27/social-media-american-workers-less-productive/#comment-1896 Chris Franklin Thu, 28 Jan 2010 15:10:33 +0000 http://www.thebloggersbulletin.org/?p=2785#comment-1896 In the case of Twitter, my favorite Twitterers seem to me like intelligence/reconnaissance people behind enemy lines (in this case, behind lines in a "land" of subject-specific blogs/sites that I'd love to be able to peruse but can't). These Twitterers are giving me constant updates (links or comments) and their insight on things that are of serious interest to me that I'd miss otherwise. Of course what is of interest to me dictates who I am going to follow. Good news is that people have a wide range of interests, so obviously a multitude of Twitterers might expect to have large followings and coexist successfully on the Twitter space. But, is everybody using Twitter really getting that kind of value out of it as a follower or followed? I'd hope so, but who knows?

Already have a few responses. So if anyone wants to look at those results, it would mesh with what you're trying to find out. No doubt social networks are great, but there is the danger of their taking over your life.
