Personal / web email sites is another story, but there is little professional value in the way people use facebook today. By definition, it is primarily used for networking with friends, not professional contacts. You're posts are an exception. Using modern communications like Facebook is a good thing. My current employer recognizes that and has their own social media web site where employees can collaborate, create and join groups etc. Most other corporate landing sites have moved to this social web site also now. But you won't find people discussing what movie they saw over the weekend or what the are planning for dinner on it.
