Is Your App Necessary?

By on juli 31, 2011 | Category: Omvärlden | Etiketter: | No Comments

By on juli 31, 2011 | Category: Omvärlden | Etiketter: | No Comments

Employees are grumbling because they don’t have access to their Facebook, Twitter and Google+ profiles. They can’t keep in touch with their networks, or even follow the own employer. And it’s almost impossible for you, the social media lead, to feel comfortable encouraging employees to be engaged with the company’s social media profiles on their own time, outside of work.

Now remember, employers have their reasons for blocking social media sites. They are worried about decreased productivity, simple PR blunders and the company

Seventy-five thousand generations passed before Deep Thought revealed that the answer was “Forty two.”

Responding to the confusion and backlash of the crowd, the computer said, “I think the problem, to be quite honest with you, is that you’ve never actually known what the question is.”

The concept
