In this article, Start Your Business reports on research sponsored by Morse on how office workers' use of Twitter and other social networking services is costing UK businesses £1.38bn a year in lost productivity. The majority of businesses still do not have guidelines set up on how their workers use social networking, meaning that workers are more likely to share inappropriate information or leave themselves open to security risks.
"Although many businesses have already banned the useof sites such as Facebook in the workplace, Morse said that firms still had some way to go when it came to Twitter."
