Shocking Facebook News

I love those studies that prove something that 99% of people already knew, like the fact that Facebook sucks up worker productivity. The people at Nucleus Research published a study that says that workers check their Facebook an average of 15 minutes a day, resulting in a loss of 1.5% productivity. If i were a betting man, i would wage that the actual number is even higher! BusinessWeek argues that it may be that instead of taking "real breaks", people now take "virtual breaks". [Link]
