Social Media Usage in the Work Places

The social media has proven to be phenomenal. However, its usage in the workplaces is somewhat a controversial issue. This is because almost half of the CIOs out there do not allow it. In fact, they do not realize how important it is to the prolificacy of their workers.

The following is one of the very popular serious quotes about the social media. “The thing about Social Media that frustrates marketers to no end is that you can’t buy attention and that if you have no choice, but to think and act small, then you’ll try to say well here is a 100,000 person community, how can we buy it? What you will do instead if you’re just four people, how can we amaze them? That change in posture, that change in attitude is the single biggest shift, that’s going on the Internet right now”. Seth Godin, sethgodin.typepad.com

Therefore, whether the CIOs accept it or not, the social media is here to stay. It is not something that people waste time on. People have to use it because it is the new model of socializing and communicating. If they do not allow the use of social media websites on the work, it is going to be counterproductive.

The psychologists all over the world are voicing their opinion about the use of the social media in the offices. They give the example that the social media was banned in Egypt and Syria. This is a violation of the basic human rights of the employees.
