Yes, multiple tools have potential for confusion, but it doesn't stop organisations that have successfully made the trasition to using these tools as a part of corporate DNA - IBM at the huge end and Janssen-Cilag at the small end are great examples.There's nobody I know at IBM, for example, that's confused about when to use internal tools and when to put something public. As your post suggests, a good acceptable use policy and a set of how to guidelines goes a long way and is a significant step in the right direction.I'd love everyone to use Twitter, Facebook, whatever. But I still say there are certain business conversations that rightly don't take place in the public domain. @Matthew, all valid points.

I would have also thought that, in the end, people will just have a preference for one over the other, and given the greater reach of Twitter I know which one I would use!M :) You’ve seen through my dasterdly plan!
