How long can you sit at your desk with your head down just banging out work? Maybe 2 hours before having to get up, walk around, or peruse the internet. The internet provides us a vast place to cure ADD and boredom, but can also be a huge time suck and major waste of your day. We all know the feeling of hearing someone come up behind you and quickly hitting Alt+Tab to switch windows and make it appear like you are working and not just socializing on the internet.
Even though it’s normal and healthy to take breaks during the day from your job, where is the balance? Do bosses frown when they see you surfing the internet or socializing? Is there an online resource that companies would actually encourage the use of? What qualities would a resource have to possess to get the employers OK?
Of course the first few sites that come to mind when talking about socializing on the web are MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook. And just as obvious a statement is the fact that 1 out of every 2 companies block those sites. That’s right, even though these social networking sites can sometimes provide value to the user in the form of content sharing, 54 percent of U.S. companies say they’ve banned these sites.
The next thing I want you to think about is how many emails you get during the day to your work account (because we know your personal email is probably already blocked). If you’re like me the number is well over 100. With 100 work emails flying through my inbox, how am I going to find time or even find those email chains from my friends that I actually love answering every day? There is no good answer to that question; just simply reply email jail.
So, let’s take Pinyadda into the workplace and count the top 10 reasons why you need Pinyadda at work:
- It’s not blocked, has a sharp UI and doesn’t look sleazy like most social networking sites. That’s right, just let your boss know you’re using a new tool that helps you monitor everything that’s happening in your industry.
- Get served ALL of your news in one place. Instead of wasting the time to go to 10 different sites everyday as you’re drinking your morning coffee, you can get it served to you personal-assistant style on Pinyadda, and all in one place
- Get trusted news. All of the content on Pinyadda is from trusted sources and does not contain any spam or bit.ly links you might find on Twitter or other social sites.
- You can socialize! Pinyadda’s community is incredibly intelligent, humorous and witty.
- Stay on top of info. Need to research a topic for boss? Google just won’t cut it anymore, as it’ll spit out a bazillion different keyword matches. What’s a trusted article and what’s not? Follow the specific topic and get real real-time news.
- Carry on your private email chains inside of Pinyadda. Forget sifting through email, share articles with friends directly on Pinyadda, and stop fretting that someone will notice the Gmail or Yahoo! logo on your screen.
- Be ahead of the curve and invite your co-workers. Perhaps pinning an article to your boss with an insightful comment will get you a raise (no guarantees on that one). At the least, you’ve shown your boss how on top of innovation and ahead of the curve you are by introducing him to Pinyadda.
- Be the most informed worker at the water cooler. How else are you going to stay up on current events other than aimlessly sifting through the internet? Now you can transform Pinyadda’s digital water cooler to the physical water cooler at work.
- Mentor new employees. Throw the new guy or intern a bone by sharing some awesome work related content.
- Instantly cure boredom and actually become smarter at the same time! Just visit the All People feed and see what people are discussing.
Well there it is, I challenge a 10 point response on why Pinyadda is not for the workplace.
