This week I read the article "Companies Warm Up to Social Networks" from the Interesting Articles link in our Blog folder. I chose to read this article because the company that I work for has actually asked if we could set up a company group in Facebook. The reason being is so new employees could get a better idea of who is who in our company. We actually have around 20 or so employees that have Facebook accounts and are friends with each other. Some problems introduced in the article were to keep a close eye on employees putting too much information on their profile page that gives company competitors bits and pieces of valuable information. I believe that with rules set in place, employees could use these social networks to share company events, meetings and friendly comments on jobs that they have accomplished successfully.

I think this is a great idea for smaller companies, or the satelite offices of larger companies to form these groups to coordinate small events and things of that nature, and also to be friends with each other so employees can get to know one another outside of work. I know of a fraternity on campus that has their own personal social networking site soley for those people involved, it helps people who've met from different chapters to keep in touch and announce upcoming events.
