Execs TWITTER (your) time away?

If you run a business, you probably (also) OWN all of the servers and workstations at your company. Here's a simple (and virtually cost-free) suggestion for your I.T. SysAdmin: BLOCK all of the following websites...

TWITTER, FACEBOOK, LINKEDIN, eBAY, CRAIGSLIST, YOUTUBE, FLICKR, MYSPACE, BEBO, IMDB, ROTTENTOMATOES, FARK, POGO, MOOLA, HOTORNOT, PATENTLYSILLY, DEL.IC.US, FURL, DIGG, REDDIT, SLASHDOT, SNAPFISH, MATCH, eHARMONY, MATE1, YAHOO PERSONALS, NETFLIX, BLOCKBUSTER, BESTBUY, TARGET, WALMART...etc.

It's HIGH TIME that your employees get down to business! Are your Execs "twittering" their time away (at YOUR expense)? Clearly, the rules of social networking engagement are still evolving, but does time spent at any of the above websites enhance your BOTTOM LINE? Either these tools are shedding light on business issues, or are they're just a distraction ...and I assert that all "distractions" ARE a total waste of time.

It's your call. Me Thinks.
