Your Computer: An Essential Tool For the Workplace

By Kazu Oda

The term "out with the old and in with the new" is never more true than with the introduction of the social media concept. The PC and computer have opened up new avenues in the work place to a wide scope of how information is acquired as well as how that information is dispersed.

However, take a moment to consider that within that network there might be an answer for the dilemma facing your industry problem. This is not about being at the top of your game socially but rather involving others in your network in the problem solving game.

The question might arise as to the effectiveness of the new social media legacy as opposed to the legacy media legacy. There is a definite need to establish a guide as to how social networking is working. It is a general rule of thumb that the 90/1 rule will apply.

This states that 1% of those participating will produce the information while 90% will merely read the information which leaves 9% will contribute on occasion.

With a program of this size, there is constant enhancement going on. NASA and TSA both have a considerable staff as well for maintenance.

As with any system, storage can become an issue that must be addressed. The determination of what information must be kept and for what length of time must it be stored has to be made and then archival needs must be provided. It has been suggested that a consideration might be cloud-based storage services for Web 2.0 information.

The Department of Defense's social media operates on an internal network and has specific guidelines to only allow access to those personnel who are authorized users. This rule applies to both classified as well as unclassified material.

The question/answer approach can take up a lot of time and it is good to set forth guidelines as to when you will be getting back with answers to their questions. NASA sends out daily blogs via Twitter which suppliments the daily press releases. - 22787
