Does it seem bizarre to anyone else for a company to have an internal social network? I thought the general concessions was that on social networks, people are more likely to treat each other as jerks than when face to face. If your company has a social network, would you engage with it? If you run a company, would you make your social network more than just an auxiliary function for management?

It seems like a good way to engage employees and organize discussion and collaboration but how good probably depends on the company and its culture. I work (low-tier FC drone) at Amazon, and they have an internal Twitter clone that I stumbled across while browsing the internal wiki one day. Nothing very interesting happens on it.. mostly managers and developers posting, but it seems to serve some need that isn't being met by email.
