Here is an example of a website put together in under five minute using free tools. It isn't glamorous or sophisticated and there isn't a gram of Flash to be seen. In minutes a page can be posted for general consumption.
This raises an interesting and very understandable corporate concern - control.
There is a genuine concern that if tools are available to anyone who wants them then who is controlling what they are saying and doing? Who can stop somebody saying horrid things and posting embarrassing photographs from the Christmas party? The free five minute website give you the answer - nobody. By logical extension anyone can do anything and if they are motivated enough they will do it anyway in under five minutes.
We must to remind ourselves that we are using the web to make things better, not to stop people griping when we make things worse.
