Social Networking ...

Actually I am suppose to complete a report on "benchmarking" our proposed "transformational" ideas on property plans approval processes with other cities like Singapore, Hong Kong, Gold Coast, North Sidney and Dubai. Tapi tiba-tiba ada "brainfreeze". Lagipun hari ini tiba2 WIFI kat PICC nie excellent pulak ... I LIKE ... Hebat sekali untuk bersosial melalui talian telekomunikasi dan alam maya...

Social networking nie has been a BIG issue lately in KPKT. Some people feel that it should be allowed during office hours on Ministry's internet connection, some suggested that it should be allowed on certain hours like lunch time, some are against the idea of social networking in the office at all. For me personally, as an active network socialite in a form of Facebook and a team leader/manager myself, I think we should allow it on certain hours.

Pertama sekali, it is the best way to CONNECT with your friends and peers. I discussed a lot of things with my friends on Facebook like PTK (ethical), latest GOSSIPs within and outside KPKT (non-ethical), getting information on studying abroad overseas especially with friends who got the HLP scholarship (ethical), checking-out old friends whereabout and making fun at friend's latest photos (non-ethical) hehehe

Kedua, it is the best way to DESTRESS. There are lots of game and video uploaded/links that we can check out. Other than that, tgk jer latest pics of our secret admirers kita dulu-dulu ... sure ketawa gila punya. Dulu macam Luke Perry in 90210, sekarang ada yang dah boroi, botak, jongang hehehe. Bila I rasa stress gila nak siapkan reports to Taskforce yang tak mudah-mudah itew, I turn to my Sorority Girls AVATAR ... Misz Donna ... Caya tak, in the Sorority world, I am a DIVA, ada 6 boyfriends (which I bought), own a private jet, 2 hummer (and berderet kereta mewah), wardrobe I semua designer brands mcm Gucci, Christian Dior, Manolo Blahnik, Carolina Heirera hehehe. Selain itu kita boleh chat dengan friends.

Ketiga, it is one of the best ways to get latest NEWS and INFORMATION if you subscribe to specific social group or fan clubs. Like me I am a fan of Malaysia Airlines System ... so latest news and promotions I akan tau lah. Selain itu, we also can get latest news melalui friends shout out or profile status.

Keempat, it is also the best to PROMOTE your blogs, products, services ... for those yang involved in small business lah. I jarang lah promote my insurance consultancy services on FB. Not the type yang agresif cari clients. Latest blog entry adalah sekali dua. Just to draw more viewers supaya boleh dapat income from NuffNangg hehehe. I pun suka promote my photo-taking skills in my FB. Sekali ... ada member pun minat fotografi. Wow, dapat bertukar2 fikiran and ideas ...

Whatever it is, I feel that the management of an organisation be it government and private sectors jangan lah tolak the idea of social networking in the office nie. It is a small "carrot" or reward kepada staff pun. The important thing is ketua unit or jabatan kena play a role untuk control and avoid misuse of the facility.

As I was typing this entry ... I tersenyum bila teringat incident yang berlaku pagi tadi. This morning we had a discussion with local authorities on planning approval process. My team dah siap report kitaorang so we sat behind ... semua facing laptop ... actively typing. So our team leader checked what we were typing and said...

"Wah ... kiri Facebook, kanan Facebook ... Encik Ghani sorang jer buat flowchart" . Encik Ghani ni Penguasa Bomba Kanan yang dah nak bersara.

Encik Ghani dengan selamba menjawab," I takder Facebook sebab ramai kawan dah meninggal atau buta IT. Nak Facebook apa ..."

At least tau lah apa itu Facebook yer Encik Ghani. Hahahaha

U mention 4 kegunaan penting fb atau internet, J. I tambah satu lagi, buat quick research. For me even the dictionary is important coz my spelling is horrible. Juga boleh semak foreign words when English is not enough. Social networking memang penting. Kalau En Ghani cuma minat peer group relations dan ramai yg dah cross over atau buta IT, I like intergenerational communication - to share and endorse basic human values which are timeless. Misalnya tua muda pun suka roti canai, teh tarik, nasi lemak, hot dog, gucci, louis vuiton, ferragamo etc. etc.Depa suka ceq pun suka, hehehe.

Well u are right Norzah.Quick research. Not only that, sometimes u have something that u need to verify, u shoutout on facebook. Lepas nie byklah u akan terima comment dan respons. KPKT against FB nie during office hours, I agree ... it can be addictive. Sekarang nie boleh access FB on HP pun. but bila staff mohon during lunch time pun tak agree situ yang buat I terpanggil bagi pandangan. Just a small reward pun to the many Gen Y yang dah entering workforce nie ... am sharing it in my future entries.

I think social networking sites shouldnt be allowed in the office, unless it has some use in the job such as promoting products/events etc.

I see it in my office, some of my colleagues spend way too much time on facebook... and that's not good.

I did mention that it is addictive. But since in our office FB is totally ban, ramai resort to other alternative like beli broadband etc. So problem juak ... allow it for limited time jak lah.
