Rich Hoeg asks us to consider the question of access to and governance of social networking tools in Corporate America, linking to a post from IBM's Jen Okimoto on the topic. Now of course my own take on corporate governance is that it should be a democracy - nobody has yet offered me a convincing explanation as to why totalitarianism is acceptable in a corporate environment while repugnant in a civic environment. So my answer to the questions posed here is something along the lines of saying that individuals make their own rules for the use of social media, subject to the necessary legal provisions regarding intolerance and abuse, and otherwise governed through social sanction rather than corporate fiat.
