Does Your Firm Ban Social Networking?

According to a survey by Robert Half Technology, "54 percent of CIOs said their firms do not allow employees to visit social networking sites for any reason while at work. Nineteen percent of the survey's 1,400 respondents said social networking is permitted for business purposes only. Another 16 percent allow limited personal use and only 10 percent give employees free rein regarding Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and other sites".

This reminds me of the days when the Internet was brand new and corporations didn't know what to do. I believe that companies are still trying to figure out how social media fits in. What is your perspective on social networking and the workplace?
