Some reading on Facebook and enterprise social software from my del.icio.us bookmarks collection:

• Tim Bray: The Intimate Internet
  Bray on Facebook: "Twitter hits that 80/20 point, bringing me that news without all the Facebook bullshit and lame groups and dorky apps and stupid ads and data lock-in. "
  
• Fred Stutzman: The Directionality of Social Network Platforms
  Stutzman on Facebook: "the ecosystem needs more than fluff, especially if we're going to start talking about the "social operating system."
• Phil Windley: What's wrong with Facebook
  Windley on Facebook: "social Webs will require similar attention to the structure that emerges from social activity, not nagging people about it";
• Doc Searls: Too much face(book) time
  Searls on Facebook: "If you're waiting for me to respond to a poke or an invitation, or a burp or any of that other stuff, don't hold your breath."
• Read/Write Web: Big Vendors Scrap for Enterprise 2.0 Supremacy
  "The [products] remain complex and broad in scope - which in many respects goes against the grain of simple and easy-to-use web 2.0 products."
• Personal InfoCloud: The State of Enterprise Social Software
  "Nearly all of the enterprise software product companies are claiming understanding of Web 2.0, but none execute well on it"
