Being social at work?

At VOXUS, I'm thankful accessing a Facebook account during work hours is not only OK, but encouraged to a certain degree to support our client efforts. This is in stark contrast to many of my peers that are locked out of social networking sites, or cautioned not to use them while clocked in. According to a survey from WorkPlace Media covered by MediaPost's Online Media Daily, 55 percent of workers that have access to the Web at work maintain a social networking site. Only 43 percent of workers access it at work and usually for less than half an hour a day. A whopping 89 percent of the social networking survey respondents held Facebook accounts.

But what this survey didn't find out is who has borrowed their co-worker's Swingline stapler and not returned it.  Now that's a real office crime.
