Security Concerns
One issue that I was curious about when reading some blogs that have been hosted by large corporations are the security implications with publicly available posts. Members of these companies are posting about topics that could compromise the integrity of the corporations. The chapter in "Naked Conversations" talks about how in a corporation of over 86,000 employees, the actions of one individual compromised the integrity of the entire company. Even if a company were to establish intranet pages, internal company blogs, or establish blog rules, how does the company go about ensuring that the information posted on these sites will not leave the confines of the company?

I agree with your point. Even further, this made me think about a fellow student that wanted to implement WarCraft Video Games onto SecondLife for the users to add to the scripts. This would tarnish the security of that game as SecondLife has already had difficulty with hackers.
I definitely agree that this is a concern. Intranets must be coupled with an appropriate information architecture and system to retain the confidentiality of their data. (Web) security should definitely not be overlooked by any company with sensitive information on their network.
I totally agree with you that security is the concern for the company. As the online trafic increases, security should be valued more. Coporation should know that usefulness and easiness of the online communication is also risking itself, too.
