Whether you are using social media or not chances are your employees or business partners are. One think to think about and put in place are some guidelines around social media usage. There are many ways that social media could damage your business, from the obvious to the not so obvious. Employees chatting about what they are working on or who they are meeting could provide valuable intelligence for competitors. Here’s a great collection of social media polices from around the world to get you started (http://itpromarketer.com/2009/12/social-media-policies-113-organizations/).

Hey Cuccumber, we agree about having a Social Media Policy. There are both risk’s and benefits to be had with Social Media and Social Networking Websites.
You’ve pointed out the dangers of leaking intelligence, however I think every business should also intergrate a “pro Social Media Policy” as well. Your whole team should be involved in keeping in touch with existing customers, finding new customers, new business partners and maybe even new suppliers using Social Networking Sites.
We feel there is a lot to gain (especially as a lot of companies aren’t pro-active enough yet) with Social Media.

Wendy, thanks for pointing out that website – I have to say I really like the geek on the left, such a brilliant use of how to get personality into a website to make it memorable!
