I just got on here to try to find some way to get in contact with Mr. McGrath. He also played a major role in my career choice of software engineering. There was a rumor that he had a perfect score on the ACTs, and had many career opportunities, but chose to teach high school instead. What a wonderful man.

Much like some companies and some governmental organizations blocked the Internet 10 years ago, some still choose to block social media sites. I believe, bias included, that most of us in this business do not agree with blocking these sites.

The question really is given that they want to block access for employees is it hypocritical to also use social media to promote your business or communicate organization information? Our argument is that a company or organization, especially governmental organization, has a responsibility to communicate via acceptable channels to the public. Social media and the web has become that channel and they should embrace it. The staff updating these channels should have access during the day even if the people doing other work are blocked…

Our employees are also admins on our facebook page so I expect them to use it accordingly. And since most twittering and facebooking happens in the morning, what good would it be to block it until they get home at night.

]]> Comment on What is an entrepreneurial company in Iowa? by Chris Campbell http://blog.spindustry.com/2010/07/29/what-is-an-entrepreneurial-company-in-iowa/#comment-269 Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:44:00 +0000 http://blog.spindustry.com/?p=55#comment-269 Thats a job for VC’s but sometimes with careful investments it might be able to build some rock stars from the Iowa community. I also agree that sometimes helping a company thats been around for 15 years is a better play and sometimes they can bring quick, sustainable growth to the sector. Just my 2 cents.

It is so amazing to think about, though, those great teachers and influencers you have had in your life and what other course you might have ended up on if they did not play such a powerful role. I hope Jack McGrath knows how important he was to so many career choices :)
