That's right. A lot of people do that. And companies just forbid the use of services like Twitter, or even Facebook, as they have already done with instant messengers and some other, more conservative portals. BUT they promote microblogging! They do! It's part of the Web 2.0 hype, so why wouldn't they? </p> <p>Endorsing something you actually forbid for internal use is somewhat like selling shoes you'd never wear yourself, isn't it?</p>
