So let’s try and build a picture of access to social media tools from the workplace.

Please run my social media test suite survey from your workplace machine and let’s see who the blockers are.

I’m happy to publish here, or in the survey results you can see when you complete the survey, any appropriate explanations or justifications from IT providers.

I know there can be good reasons for limiting access, and we should separate those from the bad ones.

Take part in the research (providing you are at work right now) by clicking here.

Do you skive at work?

That's pretty much the question asked by Abigail Schoneboom, a researcher from the USA.

As such, if you do any of the following on work time - avoid work or a duty when you shouldn't - then follow this link to reveal that little bit more about how you go about shirking official responsibility.
