Mashable has a good roundup of social media policies that organisations have adopted, along with some links to useful guides in developing your own. On a different subject, I thought everything had been said about Portsmouth Council’s decision to ban Facebook because the average member of staff was SQUANDERING TAXPAYER’S MONEY by spending (on average)  11 seconds a day on the site.

But then a friend pointed out one argument that for some reason has slipped under the radar: When he doesn’t have access to Facebook, he spends a lot more time on the phone organising his social life. But he also does a lot of his professional communications on the site as well.

Maybe it’s time to establish a Debategraph diagram entitled ‘all of the reasons that Facebook shouldn’t be banned in the workplace’?
