Even admitting that the individual has an identity outside of the corporate is a struggle for many, who still see employees as assets/liabilities. I with more companies focused even some efforts on creating a good environment within which to work, because there is plenty of evidence to show that happy people are more productive (win/win), but we suffer from a damaged work ethos - a painful hangover from the industrial revolution.

"Making money" is the mechanomorph's crippled vocabulary for D-realm mechanics. In the B-realm, cost and profit are re-defined in terms of value. E.g. "What would you pay to work with nice people?"

I'll have to read this post again tomorrow when I'm fresh. I'm happy to see that some social sites recognize that I have a digital life elsewhere and the real value of their service is allowing me to bring certain aspects of that life into the connections their sites help forge. I continue to not understand why companies insist on building "the mother of all social networking applications" instead of letting customers decide how and what aspects of their lives to share.
