Internal social software for business

In the workplace, leveraging information in new ways improves decision making, customer service, and how people get work done. Business managers, team leaders, and customer facing employees will be amazed with the power and flexibility of social networking software.

So, what are your thoughts about using internal blogs or social networking software within a company to capture and tag both, explicit and tacit knowledge? What about wikis, forums, groups, micro-content, folksonomy (tagging), chat, knowledge management 2.0, etc.? Would you prefer to work for a company using these tools for communications, making connections, collaboration? How do you think they would affect the bottom line; your daily work routine; employee morale?

You know, business runs, by default, on e-mail. It's always there, and it just works, so we end up using it for everything - as a telephone, as a filing cabinet and as a conference room.
