Anthony,

Lot of organizations have posted their Social Media Guidelines (Policies????) on the internet:

http://www.sun.com/communities/guidelines.jsp
http://www.ibm.com/blogs/zz/en/guidelines.html
http://www.rightnow.com/privacy-social.php
http://www.sapweb20.com/blog/2009/07/sap-social-media-guidelines-2009/
and more…..

Reading these guidelines/policies you can determine the culture and the social dynamics of that organization.

In the not too distant future, job seekers will be reviewing the social media guidelines for the organization prior to applying for a job……

And if the organizations want Digital Natives on their team, they need to make sure that Social Media Interaction policies are not too restrictive.

This observation is long overdue. There is a big difference between leveraging existing social web applications and leveraging the metaphors and usages from social web applications.
Many B2B and B2G companies and governments should strategically enter the social web. But, they should be exploring the advantages of social media for internal organizational use and connecting with customers, partners and citizens. And closed social media systems can ready companies to move into social media.
