agreed a waste of time unless they are used just a little and i mean a little

they will be abused otherwise like msn is by kids and facebook by employees

The real abuse is tucked away in the Terms and Conditions and 'Privacy' Policy.

What do you think about innovative real-time collaboration/communication/presence systems like – video conferencing , constant online access through – icq , Skype , net meeting , LCS , and other real-time collaboration environments.

Are we ready to embrace them ?

These systems, more and more each day, allow for constant real-time presence/communication between team members , partners , colleagues etc. Do you think online collaboration is going to be predominant in the near future or not so near one ?

Do you think the workforce, the management styles and culture of the English people ( especially the culture) are actively embracing new real-time presence communications technologies ? Or do you think that the technology is there but it is underused.


Do you think these points are pulling back online collaboration /presence systems ?

An employee/contractor doesn’t want their PM having constant control / connection on the employee/contractor. That would mean that the employee would have to be working ALL the time.

The PM doesn’t want to have the employee/contractor constantly connected because this means the PM has to be working ALL the time.
