Your chance to engage in a live text chat with IT industry celebrities, your favorite Network World columnists and other newsmakers.
People love to communicate -- in ever more ways, on work time, and not just about work. Some companies block sites like Facebook and Twitter while others embrace social networking in all its glorious messiness. Is social networking the best collaboration tool ever or a giant black hole for productivity coupled with an unacceptable security risk? Whatever the answer, IT is being put in the middle of the controversy. Curt Monash will be available to answer your questions about the risks and opportunities of social networking technologies, both "soft" (brand image, employee distraction and morale) and "hard" (security, content management technology, and sentiment-oriented text analytics). Monash writes the popular Network World blog, A World of Bytes and his own blog, Text Technologies. He is a well-known name in the software industry for his lively analysis, and for his work with a broad spectrum of companies, ranging from behemoths such as Microsoft, Oracle, and AOL all the way to pre-revenue startups (some of which he founded).
