For most people, if you need to ask a co-worker a question or get some information, you can simply stand up & walk 5-20ft from your cubicle to theirs...or, if you can't get up, you can call them on the office line or shoot them a quick email.
The main purpose of social networking isn't to "collaborate" between yourself & someone else (or a small group of people), it's to share your personal information & events with as many people as possible. For 99% of corporate projects, you don't need to disseminate the information that widely, & there are already tools in place -- telephone, email, simple face-to-face contact -- that will provide *all* of the necessary collaboration functions needed for business.
