It seems like my to-do list never gets shorter each day; only longer. This was even more true when I was responsible for the information security and privacy program within a large multi-national financial and insurance organization. It seemed the squeakiest wheel to-do items often got done, while other to-do’s that were very important, and often not that time-consuming, got put by the way-side, always put off until another week.

Over the past few months I’ve been keeping a fairly close eye on the evolution of social networks and the security and privacy impacts they have not only on the individuals participating, but also on the businesses that allow their personnel to use the sites from the company’s network.

I’m surprised by how different the opinions are for this week’s poll about using social networking sites at work!
If you haven’t clicked a poll button for it yet (see right side of screen and scroll down a little), please do so. It will be interesting to see if the opinions stay so widely scattered by the end of Sunday.
