Therefor employees will spend many time do browsing or chat blog the internet. They will lose their competitive ability to deal with normal work as well.
Denni, nice post. Basically, the concept of Enterprise 2.0 is to create an enterprise platform to allow or to help users (like employees, customers and suppliers) to collaborate and share information via Web 2.0 technologies such as tagging, ratings, networking and RSS. In other words, Enterprise 2.0 is the strategic integration of Web 2.0 technologies into an enterprise’s intranet, extranet and business processes. Security, loss of productivity and lack of adoption are always the majpr issues in implementing an Enterprise 2.0 solution in an organization.

Hi, Denni. Good discussion.
The risk of social networks it is a serious problem at the present. Traditional social networks have expanded from a few dozen acquaintances to hundreds of friends, friends of friends. Currently, We live in a world where people would rather communicate by sending a text message from their mobile phone, post comments on their favorite online network or send a short Tweet to inform all their friends that they have just got out of bed or they are out to dinner.
Social networks can improve the reputation for oneself, and exapnd market research for business. However, there are many potential problems with social networking sites and the teenagers that use them. I did this topic short time ago; a greater danger is that teens may become targets of pedophiles. The anonymity of some social networking sites makes it easy for unscrupulous people to target young teens and engage them in harmful conversations. Parents need to pay more attention on it.
I still believe that don’t be in contact with internet too much as a teens.
