[iceman]

Hi guys

IceInSpace has been on twitter for a while, but I've now created a Facebook Page for the broader IceInSpace community and the new social media fans :)

So if you're on Facebook, please Become a Fan at the IceInSpace Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/iceinspace).

Please share with/suggest to your friends too.

Oh my! That means we get to put faces AND background info to handles (names).

It's just shifted from business to personal.

[iceman]

It's always been personal! :D

[Nesti]

Oh lord...I've wandered onto a Mafia site...AIUTO!!!!

[jjjnettie]

LOL, most of my facebook friends are from IIS anyway.
But I'll spread the good word.

[[1ponders]]

There is life away from IIS??????? Who started that lie. :eyepop: Must get mythbusters onto it.

[FredSnerd]

Whats Facebook?

[Octane]

A virus.

[dpastern]

ah well, even though I'll probably get rid of FB in the near future, thought I'd join for the time being.

Done, only reason i still have a fb is for work lol

[Omaroo]

Three hundred million people use it daily, so it simply must be awful. How dare anything become popular because it connects people. :lol: Yes, it's "viral", but it must be by nature to work a damn. I'm not a huge user, but apart from the danger it may pose to impressionable young kids (a problem endemic to the internet itself under certain circumstances), I don't see any real problem in it. :shrug: Besides, it's the only real way I have of keeping up with real friends of mine that reside all over the world - and for that it's absolute gold. I've never lost total contact with any of them.

[h0ughy]

i am in enough trouble here let alone joining another area.

[jjjnettie]

I like fb. I've only recently started using it. It's a great way to network with like minded folk.

[Octane]

That's cool, Chris. If it works for people, more power to them. I'm sure I've said that before. I certainly don't begrudge anyone using it for whatever reason.

My reason for not signing up: it's very easy keeping in touch with people when you can count your mates on the fingers of two hands. Therefore, the web site doesn't offer me anything -- no reason to sign up. :)

[Omaroo]

LOL! You sell yourself short Humayun! Count me as your eleventh! :hi:

[Davros]

In.....................and loving it.

[Octane]

:P

It was actually a big enough problem at work that they blocked it. From what I've been told, a large number of people were sitting on that web site for a large portion of their day and not working! For an organisation which makes its money by people actually doing work (creating output), it was getting beyond ridiculous. :rofl:

I bet it's the bane of CIO's across large organisations. :lol:

I know what you mean about lost productivity, H.

We've also had to ban it at work. On one particular occasion a female newsreader actually missed being in the broadcast booth to read a news bulletin because she was so distracted 'networking':rolleyes:

We also noticed a massive drop-off in output from our more (how can I put this?) .....junior reporters:lol:

I don't have a problem with it per se....but it does have its issues. Or more accurately, there are issues with the way some people use it.

[MrB]

I'm in Mike!
Facebook is great for keeping in touch with family and friends that are now living overseas.
If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have joined FB.

[Jen]

:eyepop:woohooooo count me in :P

:computer::computer:

[Jen]

[iceman]
