The social networking sites are supposedly lagging behind at corporate level especially during office hours, claims a study. The era of social networking is at present ruled by Facebook, Twitter and YouTube and on the contrary, the companies do not prefer socialising during office hours.

At present the ongoing issue remains whether employees should be allowed to visit these sites or not. Companies such as Ford, GM and the likewise, in Michigan have given an access to the social sites like Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook from the office premises. But this is not the case with all companies as they claim to have radical views about these social sites and believe that theses sites hinder the work process.

The supporters believe that accessing social networking sites at workplace aids in improving business strategy and at the same time boosts the morale of employees and spreads awareness aiding in promotion of the business. In the meantime these social networking sites come in handy and provide more than just a tool and aids in updating oneself and keeping in touch with friends and peers.
