Cogitations on Workplace Facebook Policies


I must have died and gone to heaven! Given the egregious stories one hears about the banning of Facebook at the workplace off-late, I was very happy to know that the big boss himself was engaged in a discussion of the organisation's presence on Facebook, even if he considered it "experimental".

The genesis of the discussion yesterday lay with a colleague wondering what guidelines existed for the direction of the organisation on Facebook. Considering I manage the fan page, I was a bit stumped. It is a very necessary discussion to be had, and I intend to produce something by the end of the week for revision.

Even more interesting are these tips on enhancing Facebook fan pages, which I hope will enhance your insight as much as it has mine!

Why I'm bored with Vodafone Ghana


For a person who has more erstwhile ONETOUCH chips than sense, you could say I have become a sage!

I have decided to abandon my vodafone chips (numbering 6!--don't ask how come?!). I just don't feel I am getting value for money. Yesterday, I got my bonus credit from
Zain, looked at my Vodafone chips and shrugged.

"Just not worth it" I thought.

Vodafone's promotion for the ridiculous $1m prize/Trassaco valley and shit just reflects the values of the new management that feel most Ghanaians want to be chauffeur-driven in a 4X4 jeep, and live in a mansion, where there will be no regular stipend for its upkeep.

Just plain foolish.

I'm so mad with Vodafone I'm not even linking them--go and google them yourself. I always said Ghana Telecom should not be sold.

It is only history and posterity that will judge the NPP administration for selling off Ghana's major communications service.

Long live Ghana Telecom!
