You're FIRED! For using social networking?

In today's crazy age of tagging, digging, del.ici.ous-ing, and myspace-ing, there comes the age of FACEBOOK (cue the scary DUH DUH DUH music)!  But this isn't about the Book'O'Face.  It is about you and what you put in your little corner of the web-o-sphere.  Your .motime.com. 

Ever think that what you put up here might get you caught in a strange predicament?  You know, the kind where your boss is glaring at you like you are some WEIRD Star Trek alien who just opened the space hatch but thought they were getting a cheeseburger?  We aren't talking about the kind of cheeseburger that is flame broiled...it is FIRED...as in you are FIRED!

What are your thoughts?  Is it right in this free open place called the net, that your personal life should be trounced upon by your job?  And why aren't they paying you to search for co-worker blogs?  That seems way more fun than this dreaded annoyance you're doing now in this little cubicle. 

I am all up for my private life being my private life.  That is why it is called my private life...it is private.  But, for those of us who do not make their blogs private, do we really have a right to tell our jobs they are wrong?

Let's hear it MOTIME!

The Unlogged Visitor question

It has come to the management's attention that there is some dissatisfaction within the ranks about the moniker "Unlogged visitor" that appears in the comments of those sad souls that won't take the measly 2 minutes that are required to register and pick a nice name for themselves. (That way, they can even put their non-Mo'time blog or "personal space" as their default and every time they comment, the little house on the prairie icon is automatically linked to their own little patch of Net.)

So, seeing as though I can't change the system right now, I would like to know if changing the name would help. What would you like to see instead of "Unlogged visitor"? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Really.

community, spumante

If I'm not going to write here...

will you?

How about if some of you wiseacres out there write some articles for this defunct little newspaper? The editors will look with favor on articles about blogging, social networky stuff, cosmological events and dentistry.

Help. Wanted.
