Businesses Struggle To Control Social Networking

Lucas123 writes "Businesses in highly regulated industries are trying to strike a balance between workers who use social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn to communicate, and trying to satisfy federal requirements to monitor, capture, and audit all forms of electronic communications. As with instant messaging a decade ago, corporations are first blocking all access to the applications, and then considering what tools may be available to control them in the future. A cottage industry is being built around software that can not only control access to social networking websites but also ensure conversations over those websites can be stored for electronic discovery purposes."

Other than someone working at facebook please show me the line of work that requires you to have a facebook account?

Considering that it didn't exist 10 years ago I highly doubt you'll find any such 'requirement' short of a job made up just so someone could sit there and dick around on facebook.

Who the fuck said I disagreed with your original statement.

No one did. Now do you understand why you fail at reading comprehension?

My problem with you fuck wad is you think you should be taken at your word with out any supporting evidence.

Fuckwad is one word, not two.

I completely understood your original post and agreed, but I still think your a flame bate just from your attitude.

Well, knock me over with a feather! Maybe if you had spent a little more time on your original comment, instead of these hasty, poorly-formed sentences, we wouldn't be sitting here making fun of you.

hey asshole.

reading comprehensive. Your the only person that didn't know what the original poster was talking about that replied to you.

Your still a fuckwad(there you happy cock sucker). By the way asshole, you couldn't prove that is one word if you tried. Again, an aragont cock sucker that thinks he should be taken at his word. Show me where that slang/cuss word is spelled specifically that way. Provide a link asshole.

hey dick head, put up or shut up. Provide links to back up your original statement and quit being a dick head. Also provide links to prove that fuckwad is one word, instead of 2.

I say your talking out your ass. You've never read a study backing up your original statement. Something you seen in a post but you never followed up to read the supporting evidence.

Prove me wrong, if you can.
