The way I look at databases is it's useless unless you really know the people.  Having Steven Spielberg's rolodex is useless - you think Tom Hanks will pick up the call?  The company is just taking away some of that person's power - so hopefully he exported the contacts beforehand. Reconnect with a new account is not such a bad thing - clean out deadwood and reconnect with a new story. Life goes on.  Having all this in writing is a grand idea though.

Yes, the issue opens up a whole can of worms. I just came back from a Government 2.5 conference where one of the topics was "How do you define "job"?" As we become a free agent nation and companies make use of our social networks, what is the dividing line as to who owns what in social media? I do believe that we need some precedents, as you suggest. I also believe that companies are right now working on creating social media policies that will help define some of the issues that you bring up above. Either way, it is clear that the dividing line between personal and work on social networks, especially for people in certain industries and professions, is becoming harder to decipher. As for having multiple profiles on the same social network for each company that we work for, this is obviously a scenario that both the users and owners of the social network want to avoid...that is why I hope that the Facebooks, LinkedIns and Twitters join in the conversation and help us define rules that will be fair to all involved.
