Yes, it's a waste of time and productivity to Twit and FB during work.
Or, is it?
Here's some good reasons why it may actually increase all our efficiences.
1. Our work hours are NOT 9 to 5. We work for far longer, so there can't be "after work surfing hours".
2. Twitter is one of the most effective ways of staying connected to the world news and events- in real time.
3. These sites give us insights into how the world communicates and for those of us in the business of communication, it is invaluable information
4. FB gives us that much needed coffee break of saying a hi to friends when our minds are clouded and tired
5. FB also enhances our creativity- we take great pains and put in much thought into crafting our FB updates.
6. We can use all such sites to do quick researches and get feedback in seconds. For eg: what do we think of the word "stress"
7. We get good understanding of that strange animal "youth" ( if we have "youth" friends that is)
8. Twitter is a great site for knowledge sharing and I have read some of the best marketing blogs and artciles thru Twitter
9. Finally, for our kinda work with long hours, Twitter and FB helps us stay awake and alert and happy, as we wait for that final artwork to roll.
That's about all I could come up with- as I write this during my lunch break at work.
