If someone wants to make a name for their self, they need to do more than witter on about what they had for tea, or how many  s they just drank.
Tools that save time and money are productive ones, not time wasting ones. I think your IT department should be investing time and money in computer use. E.G. how to use spell checkers, either that or send everyone back to school.
Or is this some sub plot to go to the board and ask for more money to upgrade the overloaded network and internet connections?
Social networking should be banned in the workplace.

Thats a very closed minded view for a traveller, I always thought we were open minded.
How do you know this particular company is not say a PR company, or based in the service industry where a name and behind the scenes contacts can get things moving a lot quicker.
In fact take me for example I work in telecommunications, Ive lost count the amount of times Ive got help from searching google discussions, I was even able to identify a trend with DSL router chipsets being incompatible with the ADSL2+ chipsets in our exchange equipment by the numerous forum posts across the world.
Ive had a friend in another teleco company do something for me after a quick message on FB that gets my customers service up and running a lot quicker, if it was you would you have prefered me to not have used facebook and let your fault progress buisness as usual and instead of 1 hours downtime you get 2 days downtime?
