A long time ago, in a place far far away, I used to clock in when I started a shift and clock out on finishing with a Bundy card (AKA timecard).
Maria Murphy observed at Canberra IA Cocktail Hour the other night that she could tell when her colleagues got up in the morning, when they went to bed, and what they were working on - all through Twitter.
I laughed at the time, but it is true - we do send tweets to our friends to let them know when we start work, when we go home, when we start afterwork, and when we go to bed. Twitter is as good an indication as any of the number of hours we put into work. If these random tweets were collated and assessed they would easily serve as a timecard-equivalent.
I suspect, quietly, that we would be horrified at the result.
