Three quarters of staff admit Tweeting in meetings

Almost three quarters of social media users will check their news feeds on their smartphones during meetings, according to a new poll.

The survey by office experts LondonOffices.com found a huge 71% of staff would sneak a peek at their Twitter, Facebook and Instagram feeds if they were drifting away during a meeting.

Reasons given for this were keeping up-to-date with breaking news, wanting to check in location services and, for some, purely out of boredom.
