'MySpace & Facebook Make Workers More PRODUCTIVE,' Study Finds!!!!!!!

We've heard before that letting employees access personal e-mail and
other non-work related Web sites can actually be good for productivity.
A new study out of British think-tank Demos takes that a step further
and suggests that social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace
might actually be good for business.

The general thrust of the report's argument is that social
networking sites are an indispensable part of relationship building and
can help employees connect with clients and coworkers. Peter Bradwell,
the author of the report, told us that sites like Facebook can increase
workplace efficiency and creativity, but that practical guidelines
should be put in place to limit their use in the work place.

Bradwell's logic seems pretty solid, or would if it wasn't for the fact
that we have a hard time believing employees won't spend half their
time distracted by comments for friends
like "OMG! you were so drunk last night!!"
