That document pretty much just says that I'm personally liable for the  
use of any site that's not pre-approved by General Counsel. What's  
missing is a list of approved sites. If they don't plan to publish  
such a list, perhaps we can use the WebDev listserv to share what we  
individually find out.

Has anyone already asked about Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+,  
SurveyMonkey, Zoomerang, or Doodle? If not, I'll ask them and report  
back (though I expect that it will take a while).
