Particularly that policies and guidelines need to be expressed in advance and not as a knee jerk reaction to some real or perceived emergency. Another post "Implement Social Media Guidelines, Now" at http://bit.ly/Nxoz7 reinforces these points. It is important that the organisations polices or guidelines on engagement with these tools/sites reflects their broader policies. That simple sanity check may prevent un-enforceable policies. If you wouldn't try to ban employees from using Amazon at lunchtime then why would you ban them from accessing Facebook at lunchtime? I agree with the ideas expressed in this post.
