Unlike my current organization, in my last organization, we used to have an open internet policy, which meant that anyone can access any site from work. Now there may be a lot of unwanted activities if such is the case. On the other hand banning sites especially social networking sites like orkut, facebook or sites like youtube can take away a lot of good things from the young workforce. Under proper supervision a lot of learning can happen from these sites and productive collaboration too. But who will supervise it?
Harbinger Knowledge Products' product Teemingpod which is a social interaction tool for closed groups are not used among their employees. Even Infosys works on several Web 2.0 projects but they necessarily do not test them among their workforce. They also have a strict internet policy. Now if I am thinking about global collaboration...interaction...how is that gonna happen with most Web 2.0 sites being blocked?
