Not always.
Where I used to work there were people paid to Twit/face. They did other things, too, but twitting was considered a customer-facing activity. Strangely, the company put out information the employees needed to know on twit/face but banned most of us from accessing them. I think we were supposed to twit/face on our home machines after work to catch up. I now some of us did.
I never did. I relied on time-wasting conversations with the twittering team to find out anything I needed to know.
That and managers berating me for not being up-to-date, as they would usually eventually tell me what I was supposed to know at some point in the harangue.
I never did manage to get a personal face/twit feed either on the job or at home. Not having friends always made that seem a little wasteful.
