What is the cost to businesses of social media? How many hours are lost toggling back and forth between MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and all the other networks?
Bacon was already described as the friendly version of Spam - instead of being unfamiliar and annoying (Spam), bacon is a message from a social media site alerting you to news - someone sent a message, or bit you as a werewolf, or sent you a hug, or posted a video, etc.
Not so bad if everyone you know is hard at work like you. But add the global impact and it’s always happening somewhere in the world. New Facebook friends have been made in Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Connecticut, Sydney, Taiwan, London, Kuwait, South Africa - get the drift? So while I’m hard at work they’re kicking back ready to engage.
“POS” was early texting code for “Parents Over Shoulder.” It alerted teens not to get smutty on instant messaging because Mom or Dad were in the room. Is there a “BOS” for when the boss takes that spot? Leaving the corner office every boss sees screens toggled back to Outlook so employees look assiduous in their efforts.
But that Inbox may be clogged with Bacon. Meredith sent you a hug. Connie bit you. Aswani wants to be friends. I’ll have to calculate the cost to Australian business later. Someone just voted me as a Hottie - gotta go!
