Social Networking in the Enterprise

A recent voicecon email concerned itself with social networking as enterprise communications. How to use Twitter and Facebook to maintain (sell to) customers. I'm thinking, this is how interesting new technologies, especially communications technologies, get destroyed, by soul sucking corporations who invade personal interrelationships to cash in on those relationships. And I mean "cash in", as in "sell". Just like email.... check all the spam, not just the African scams or Viagra offers, but all the junk mail that arrives from any product source a buyer may have investigated in the last 10 years. All the crap that invades the inbox as a result of bots that follow web surfers' every click. The complete rape of privacy.

So now Facebook and Twitter are absorbed by the same forces of desparate commercial evil that have completely co-opted the web for their own economic gain.

Junk. It's all junk.
