[...] An overview of social networks [...]

I am doing research on ‘Facebook in the Enterprise’. I have seen a lot of experiments out there (from Serena to WorkLight) and I have the basic picture.

What I am missing is the ‘Widget’ piece; Do you have any examples of the ‘Facebook Apps’ that are facilitating social networking in the business (..and beyond, of course). For example, an Facebook application that shows where people are (in-out office, meeting with people in their network, on the road…).

The ‘Out of the box’ Facebook app does not do much for the requirements of the (internal business.. Even the Groups/Nets are pretty simplistic. The ‘Apps’ are where this is really going to happen..

Interested in your thoughts. Keep up the good work.

Thanks – MikeB
