Social networks are first and foremost venues to interact with peers.

If I want to talk about an RFP with a client or an app. spec. with a developer, I hit them up on email, Skype, etc.

That's not to say sites like Facebook don't have business value, just that to be successful, applications should be relevant to the platform they're distributed through.

If you want to build an app. for business use and expect adoption, Salesforce.com is a much better prospect than Facebook. If you want to share LOLcats, Facebook's where it's at.
