Banning Social Media

There is an interesting item in the Telegraph today about companies banning the use of social media (see http://bit.ly/jfFIew) . In a survey carried out for HCL Technologies 48% of employees reported that they are banned from using Twitter and Facebook at work. We feature HCL in the book and agree with their CEO Vineet Nayar who is quoted in the Telegraph as saying ''It is quite remarkable that in this day and age, many employers are still putting their employees' interests as a low priority by not allowing them to use sites like Facebook."
