I thought I would pass along this article that offers some good guidance on policies and enforcement and may help

"I understand that monitoring can extend beyond Employer X-provided
equipment and my at-work time to off-site social electronic sites such
as MySpace, and to any Twitter or other social media account I
maintain or visit. I agree, in advance, to provide Employer X with any
needed password or other access to conduct employment-related
monitoring."
