  • The restrictions infantilize workers—they foster resentment, reduce morale, lock people into inefficient routines, and, worst of all, they kill our incentives to work productively. In the information age, most companies' success depends entirely on the creativity and drive of their workers. IT restrictions are corrosive to that creativity—they keep everyone under the thumb of people who have no idea which tools we need to do our jobs but who are charged with deciding anyway.

      Locking down computers has never worked to increase productivity, espacially in the information age when many of the social sites are also the more easily, quickly accessible information research access points.

Twitter: We Can Do What Google Can't - Advertising Age - Digital - 0 views

shared by Gianto Widianto on 06 Mar 09 - Cached
  • Twitter sees lucrative opportunities in search, albeit a different kind of search than what Google offers, and, as co-founder Biz Stone told Ad Age recently, "we'll certainly be exploring those." It's because of the potential it sees in search that the Twitter co-founders walked away from a $500 million offer from Facebook -- not just the terms of the deal, said Todd Chaffee, an Institutional Venture Partners general partner and a new Twitter backer. He said contrary to some reports, Facebook offered not just stock but substantial cash in the deal.

  • Mainstream politicians have responded by pressuring service providers to shut down extremist sites and member pages. Although well-intentioned, that strategy is just further proof of how out of touch they are: As any record company exec will tell you, the Web is far too dynamic a place for blunt regulations. The only way to win over Europe's digital generation is to engage with it on its own terms, in its own media. European political parties need to realize that in the era of Internet politics, winning means ceding a little control -- otherwise, they might lose it completely.

      This type of thinking is lost on political, union and third sector thinking which still aims at smothering the masses with what they think they need instead of simply providing the tool sets for people to use in their own ways to suit their own needs.

    The last paragraphi is the kicker, but the whole article shows why some political groups get social media and some don't.
