Absolutely, the boundaries around what information should and should not flow need to be thought through and clear. The capabilities developed for internal and external networks can feed off each other, which few organizations do well…

“The challenge – and the opportunity – is to apply internal network capabilities to the outside world of customers, suppliers, and partners, and use experience in external engagement in building better connectivity inside”

I think a real challenge is to curate to connections between internal social software and external social media to attract and retain value in the company’s network. Information doesn’t flow automatically nor should it.
