Friends, many say social networking is going to make a deep and pervasive impact on the way organizations are managing themselves. Organizations have today realized that finding effective ways to share knowledge is the key to the company’s ability to develop and unify common business unit strategies. So the organizations are employing blogs, wikis, and other new tools to form communities through which, they believe they can promote their organization and develop the workplace. Is social networking revolutionizing the workplace?

Yes, social networking is revolutionizing media, culture, and the way people are doing business, it is profoundly reshaping organizations and workplaces. An online social network and knowledge community can strengthen an organization’s ability to understand the ways in which different parts of the system interact. With the rapid growth of consumer-oriented Web 2.0 applications, organizations are considering increasingly interactive strategies and technologies. So organizations are finding social networking as a tool through which they can brand themselves.

I don't think social networking are revolutionizing, they are being used by organization as a part of their process. The social networking site are not as secure as the traditional method for doing business. Many site use phishing and pretexting to scam end-users so that they hand over their personal information to scammers who pose as legitimate businesses. So the social networks cannot change the organizations or workplaces since they are not secure, but will be a part of their business development.
