Facebook makes an employee more productive
Is that true? Well according to a study from University of Melbourne, workplace Internet leisure browsing which includes Facebook and YouTube sharpens worker’s concentration.
People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration.
Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf of the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a days’ work, and as a result, increased productivity.
- Brent Coker, Dept. of Management and Marketing, Univ. of Melbourne
Somehow I agree with that statement. I admit that I use Facebook at the office and it’s my perfect 2-minute break every time I accomplish a certain work task. So when Facebook got blocked from the office, I know a lot who got disappointed. Good thing they unblocked it after a few hours.
Take note though that the study looked at people who browsed in moderation and if done too much, it will most likely lead to lower productivity.

si jover sali ng sali kung saang table ako. madalas ko pang bigyan ng chips – malas din…hehe.
basta laro ka lang ng laro. makikita mo din na parang may trend yung pag labas ng cards and based dun sa hand mo. but not always ha.
ang mahal naman kasi ng table na sinasalihan mo eh. talo ako ng 5k. matapos kong mapalago ng 10k natalo rin. scrabble na lang ako. hehehe.
bwahaha

maka chempo ka lang ng mgandang hand, then pakagat ka muna sa umpisa kunyari….then TODO!!!
laro ka lang ng laro. ayos yan. while waiting mapuno yung energy mo sa mafiawars, poker ka muna
one last tip sa FB poker…
whenever you see a Big Dog or a Shark, invite them to be your buddies. most of the time they would want you to be theirs as well since you can add a $100 worth of chips every 24hrs to each of them – and vice versa.
