Questions for discussion:

  • How does Facebook lend itself to an office work environment?
  • How should management design Facebook for business use by employees?
  • Is there an advantage to user familiarity with the public version of Facebook?
  • Is there any disadvantage or risk to introducing Facebook to a work environment?
