Intranet 2.0 (social media on the corporate intranet) has not only become a collection of mainstream technologies, it has become a necessity for organizations that want to be an employer of choice.

Here are some social media numbers, not in the Intranet 2.0 Global study, to consider:

* 39% of employees under the age of 25 would consider leaving their job if their company banned tools such as Facebook

The art is to be able to tell based on close observation. It’s a skill, it requires training, here are the clues.
