Interesting perspective.

Corporations should embrace social networks and establish a procedure for integrating their systems into Facebook or other chosen platform.

They should figure out how to keep their employees working and maintaining their social network presence.

Integrate tasking, email, events and other corporate data / tools into Social network platforms.

Come up with policies and security procedures.

Embrace it. Don't be afraid. Be proactive.

In Europe we have so far to go in this area. There is still alot of fear particularly in the context of reputation management from business leaders.

Those of us who believe social networking and social media have the potential to deliver value to a business could collaborate in terms of creating a set of compelling positive case histories with business outcomes.

We could then use these to demonstrate to business leaders who are still sceptical about social networking. Perhaps we should set up a wiki?

The cases in the article are perhaps a good starting point.

Good analysis/example of facebook's potential, but I agree with comment 1 on that policies certainly need to be created on its use.
