Social networking at work

There is a growing concern about the impact social networking is having on a persons professional brand, especially when it comes to workplace productivity. Many spend a good portion of their day checking personal email, facebooking and tweeting. Not to mention surfing the web, looking up recipes or shopping on-line.
The problem is that people tend to post issues that are unprofessional or reflect badly on their own work ethics. More concerning is that they are friending their managers who are reading this stuff. Posting that you hate Mondays, can't wait until Friday, reports due again, using colorful language, complaining and sharing your troubles with the world has its own message to send which may deteriorate your Brand imagine.
