They'll be really sorry then!</p><p>I just read something that mentioned how many sites are blocking social media services such as Facebook and Twitter - I think the figure was somewhere around fifty percent. While some in the social media world dream on about how social media will transform civilization as we know it, the reality is that a bunch of organizations are really afraid of Facebook quizzes and cranky observations.</p><p>But will these closed environments result in a lack of innovation as people are blocked from in-depth technical conversations AND LOLcats? The jury's out.</p>John E.
