It is a common fact that left unchecked, a social network will develop a life and persona of its own, and as such it will morph and become something that the enterprise cannot control, this has always been the dilemma. If socialware can be the buffer bewteen the enterpises legacy data, its need to have control over content and the ability to integrate into either public or private facing corporate systems this will be a great product I agree with the premise that the command and control of the enterprises charter for a social network needs to be locked down.

"Fast turnaround" and "work communication" mean new things to Gen Y/millennials in the workforce. That's why we immediately follow up emails with identical IM's. At the same time, we've all heard from our respective IT guys about the security risks of IMing on Yahoo about sensitive work topics. There is definitely a need for a secure way to leverage the technologies we know and love -- and the emerging ones we will come to know/love -- to help us do our jobs easier and more quickly. Real-time communication is here to stay and companies that ignore or fight that, e.g. by blocking access to IM clients, are missing the opportunity to take advantage of a technological advantage in a secure way.
