Productivity Paradox In The Age of Social Networks – Opposable Planets

  • If your employees are using Facebook at work, they are also likely checking work e-mail after dinner or at odd hours of the day. Don’t ask them to give up the former if you expect them to continue the latter. If you have good performance measurements, playing the “lost productivity” card is a canard.

How social networking is changing journalism | Media | guardian.co.uk

  • Richard Sambrook, the director of the BBC Global News Division, said that the impact of social media was overestimated in the short term and underestimated in long term
  • Information is not journalism, he explained further. You get a lot of things, when you open up Twitter in the morning, but not journalism. Journalism needs discipline, analysis, explanation and context, he pointed out, and therefore for him it is still a profession. The value that gets added with journalism is judgment, analysis and explanation - and that makes the difference.

How to Save the World

    • For social networking to work, he says, you
      need, in order, three things:


      1. A plausible promise
        (something prospective members need or want that they don't have now)
      2. An effective tool
        (that helps the members find each other, connect, and collaborate), and
      3. An acceptable bargain
        for members (what everyone contributes relative to others, works for
        them)

What kind of social collaboration tools have you deployed to TfL staff?
We are only at the stage of piloting social networks at the moment. We ran a pilot from August to November last year to monitor whether access to social networks affects employee efficiency. We gave unrestricted internet access to 100 members of staff, and found that their productivity improved with their access to social networks. A TfL data sheet shows that the 100 staff spent 22,409 minutes on social networks a day.

The Rise Of Social Distribution Networks

  • This world of flow, of streams, contains a very different possibility set to the world of pages.   Among other things it changes how we perceive needs.  Overload isnt a problem anymore since we have no choice but to acknowledge that we cant wade through all this information.   This isnt an inbox we have to empty,  or a page we have to get to the bottom of — its a flow of data that we can dip into at will but we cant attempt to gain an all encompassing view of it.
