The Web 2.0 in the Workplace report found that 62 per cent of employees said they should be able to use the Web and social-media services during work, and that 21 per cent would turn down a job that did not allow them to access social networking sites or personal email during work time.

What do you have to say: would you turn down a job if you could not spend time at work on your Twitter or Facebook account. Can you manage your time effectively?
