Is Social Networking useful or is it a waste of time

Social Networking is catching fever currently. Social Networking sites have made the life of people more easier in different aspects. Previously people are bound to search for a particular product, review or any kind of information, on the search engines, where they get results. Sometimes those results are outdated too, rise of social networking sites like facebook, myspace, orkut etc made this really simple. The users are able to find info, products, reviews, real time comparision of any producct or service. Social networking is a way of spreading the word around easily.

Some times social networking is dangerous as the personal information which is being shared like photos, videos, contact details, is being intercepted by hackers and crackers. Companies have banned these sites, so as to increase the productivity of the work. People are edicted to these networks so much that they started using these networks during work hours.

So this is leading to loss of productivity by each worker who are using these networks. According to latest surveys 2% of productivity by each worker is coming down due to use of social networking sites.

I request people to fullfill their duties on time and do not miss use any kind of freedom at work.
