  Facebook Fetishes Causing Problems At Work

By Sarah Falson | Monday | 2007-10-29

One in seven Facebook addictees bring their fetish to work which impacts on their productivity in the workplace, according to research commissioned by IT security and control company, Sophos.
Businesses that allow their employees to access Facebook during business hours are more vulnerable to distracted workers, says the research.

Out of 500 Facebook users polled about their usage of the popular networking website, 14.8 per cent confessed to being logged onto Facebook almost permanently throughout their work day, which Sophos says is "astonishing".

A further 37.2 per cent said they visited the site once or twice a day, while eight per cent admitted to using it upwards of ten times a day.
