According to a Canadian research firm called ZINC Research, most Facebookers are happy to let their employers look at their profile. Almost half of those questioned in a recent survey said they would be OK connecting with their employer via Facebook and two in five also said that they would be fine with prospective employers looking at their profile.While there are some companies embracing Facebook, there are others that have blocked access, but with these kind of stats, can then afford to? According to the research firm "the platform represents many opportunities..... and its strength is in its connection and engagement that can be used to attract and retain talent and build a vibrant company culture".
MyTake - There are so many opportunities on Facebook and we've only scratched the surface. I have seen firsthand what it can do to the working culture - it can unite and it can create a sense of community. If companies can help create that community for their employees and act as the facilitator, the culture will only go from strength to strength.

What concerns me with Facebook is that it's been on a rapid downhill slide since it opened up the developers API and everyone started adding layer upon layer of junk to their pages making it load slow and pretty well become another myspace.
Hopefully the new profile setup will rectify some of the problems with slow and 'hack' apps and Facebook can continue on without cloning myspace.
I'm with you there. All the apps et al tha came along just made it clunky. I stuck a few on when the developers started, but i don't use them anymore.
