Avatars To Have Business Dress Codes By 2013 221

nk497 writes "With businesses increasingly using digital tech like virtual worlds and Twitter, their staff will have to be given guidelines on how they 'dress' their avatars, according to analysts. 'As the use of virtual environments for business purposes grows, enterprises need to understand how employees are using avatars in ways that might affect the enterprise or the enterprise's reputation,' said James Lundy, managing vice president at Gartner, in a statement. 'We advise establishing codes of behavior that apply in any circumstance when an employee is acting as a company representative, whether in a real or virtual environment.'"

erm, looks like americans are making up weird words as well as laws. I thought the simple present participle is burgle while past participle is burgled. Anyways, perhaps I would place greater security around my family rather than possessions. Except my Nikon D90. Touch that and you die. Oh, and my 1TB file server. And my drill. Damn it possessions ARE important.

. . . we aren't professionals; we are gangsters with a protection racket on the business. Engineers? Hardly. Artists? Er, blink tags, DOS and Lotus Notes. Business Facilitators? Clear requirements anyone?

Have a test for common sense, competence and problem solving, rather than knowledge around a particular product which anyone can get from a book. Does anyone really value the piece of paper handed out by MS/Cisco/IBM/PMI/ISEB/ISTQB/yadda yadda yadda or would you rather see the skills and abilities of the individual?

True professional certifications verify competence; I suggest ladies and gentlemen that currently IT certifications verify the size of your department's training budget. fnar fnar.

Test Them I say, and make them sweat. It's better to find out sooner than later that the lady/gent is a tramp.
