Martin, all
I am pleased to hear that IBM is embracing social networks including
Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Companies that want to connect with their
customers and attract bright young college grads need to get onboard.

heavily used. (Likewise Slideshare, LinkedIn, FourSquare and Twitter - and
this isn't a prescriptive list.)

We have some IBMers on this list. Would any of them care to divulge
whether facebook access is allowed from the office network or not?
Facebook can be accessed from the office network, at least in
