Yes. Not nice being treated like children1 :) But yes once costs go down (like Telkom are ever going to make that happen!) it would make great sense to use technology. Ah. Yes.

I was just pissed off on Friday because of the way it was done. Personally I use Facebook on my cellphone 99% of the time, because you don't see all those stupid invites and hugs and stuff. We don't work for a company - our organisation is non profit, so things are supposedly more democratic here. Had they spoken to us like adults the reaction might have been different.

Did you know that on average, a Facebook page costs you a good few megs of download, per page? Did I also mention that it takes up your bandwidth? :) I can understand why your company higher ups are pissed at the person that downloaded so much information. I know someone who manages IT for a rather large company where Facebook, Twitter and other personal networking sites has now been banned due to it costing the company too much to cater to peoples' personal online surfing and their work stuff suffers.
