As a Serena employee, I can tell you that we are NOT forced to do this. Essentially, what this was all about was a low cost means to learn/embrace web 2.0 technologies and the impact they are having on businesses both now and the future. In addition, it provided a means to connect in a fun way with the large amount of employees that we don't see regularly because of the distribution of our offices.

The link you reference in no way states that we're FORCED to do anything, rather; what we are encouraged to do is take that hour of company time and spend towards Facebook as a sanctioned company event.

Here's what I find hilarious, there are all kinds of companies BANNING their employees from sites like Facebook, our company embraces it and you call it dumb, but what does that make the other company's, genius? Perhaps you might reconsider after educating yourself on what Andrew McAfee has to say regarding the subject, Andrew is an Associate Professor at the Harvard Business School.
