I think its inevitable that as people find this kind of technology useful for fun they'll bring it into the office. See Jello's MemeStream...

The only downside there is that you can basically forecast my strategic/technological thinking by looking at my memestreams blog. Actually, thats the upside, too. It lets people catch up on what I'm up to. But I have to leave some stuff out to placate my paranoia, which reduces the overall value of my blog for this purpose.

There would be great value in the ability to make entries public, or private, or open to certain groups, etc. maybe in an appliance for use on corporate networks. If everyone within a company is monitoring reputation agent aggregated highlights from everyone else's blog, then you would know the interesting things they were up to, and you can reduce meetings and still have discussion about the merits of new directions, integration, etc. This is more efficient than email lists where you get every dicussion, or manually aggregated knowledge bases, like wikipedia or Trac, although those still have their place. In a big enough company, it might be one person's (or several people's) job, the technical writer(s), to surf the corporate memestreams and aggregate to a wiki.

The other thing is that yes, there is value in determining social networks among patrons of casinos and other entertainment vemues where people are trackable and I think there is money to be made doing that. It could really streamline marketing.
