How much is KB costing NZ?

A new survey shows that while many Australian workers claim to be using social networking sites for work, they're not always sending out the right message.

The survey, conducted by Linkme.com.au, found almost half of those registered with a social networking site logged on at work, despite 20 per cent of employers objecting to the practice.
Of those, one in five admitted to using the site up to two hours per week, costing companies $2,700 per person per year on average in lost productivity.

Better it costs my employer than meNice thing about KB is there isnt that much to buy,another bike forum i spend time on is full of clever buggers who are always making things for old Suzuki V-twins which tends to cost me heaps.

Well, that's ok - the 50% of users could all be logging on from one big happy employer

Hmm, that's not the whole story either. If users of that site return to work refreshed and full of zing after surfing the net, they might get twice as much done as if they hadn't!

And I guess from that cost figure needs to be subtracted the value of goods sold, services rendered and deals done.

Not to mention that said employees probably do free overtime in excess of whatever time they might spend surfing therefore no productivity lost at all!

i can log on from my cellphone

Hmm, I thought I could. Maybe not now I've switched to prepay, or maybe I don't have enough credit.

Anyway, I don't think I'd want to spend too much time on KB on that size screen ...

That's OK then, KB isn't a social networking site. How could a bunch of anti social pricks be a social network?

An iPhone without the telephone - perfick.
