Dude - "Generation-F" already has a name - it's been coined the "Millenials" - people who are currently 5 -> 15.

Other people call it "Generation-Y" as it's post "Baby Boomer" and post "Generation-X"

I wrote an article about Microsoft = Facebook for the Enterprise on "my other blog".

http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/19537

Microsoft is releasing alot of really cool stuff seemingly every week at the moment and it's partnershp with Facebook re-inforces the social networking direction which is seen throughout so many of these new products like popfly, sharepoint, live etc.

When I suggest to a customer that they should encourage staff to get on Facebook, add all their clients and start leveraging the tools to reach out to customers, it always receives "That's a great idea."

I do see that some staff may not need access to Facebook, the same way that some staff might not require access to a computer. But for the majority of service/public facing staff, an online social networking profile for work is essential.

Sick post, Viral. It's the first I've read on your blog and it hits home with my exact thoughts as well... which means I will be reading more often and hitting you up on Microsoft Office Communicator (my favorite IM application, yes created by Microsoft, yes it's freaking awesome) a lot more often than I already do ;)
