Is the employee gaining profitable relationships and making money for you and themselves on twit or face? If they are...leave 'em alone! It depends on the job. Is it a sales driven job where relationships are everything?? Leave 'em alone.

We have only yet begun to realize the tip of the iceberg, have not even reached the tipping point, of the amount of actual sales biz that is getting done on these sites. Talent, sales, recruiting. you name it.

So, take a step back and do you homework. If you understand the global implications, and local of these sites, you will quickly realize that an open mind can take your business to the next level. A closed mind, will shut your doors, as your competition utilizes this as "one tool" in an overall marketing campaign.

For me, the issue is "managing the use of the sites" as opposed to setting yourself up to look like an old codger that is waaaaay behind where business is headed. I just met with an industry colleague that I met on facebook. think about it.
