Hinting at the potential of social networking at work, thousands of employees of Shell Oil, Procter & Gamble, and General Electric have Facebook accounts. A Facebook network of Citigroup employees--only those with Citigroup e-mail accounts can join--has 1,870 users. Procter & Gamble employees use Facebook to keep interns in touch and share information with co-workers attending company events.
Further evidence of Facebook's rise among the ***business card crowd***: People over 24 are its fastest-growing demographic.

to put this in perspective, in the last 10-15 years pretty much anybody who rose above a teller in a bank branch or an apprentice programmer in a brokerage house has been carrying the company's business card. You don't have to be a VP.

: This I think comes closest in meaning and register. The phrase has a slightly 'informal or marketing' feel to it and IMO 'crowd' is almost as important as 'business card' //been trying to think of synonyms for 'krug' here. 'Crowd' means a social group...

Thank you, Simon.//Мне сразу пришло в голову "клуб" in lieu of crowd, но в конце концов забраковал. Круг, конечно, слишком официально...

: Белые воротнички - это просто служащие, сюда входит заведующий лабораторией и архивариус в гос. учреждении. Короче не совсем подходит. Имхо.

In my country, these are all exactly the kind of folks that have business cards. Bus drivers and fry cooks usually don't - hence the analogy

: Nope, that's a very narrow reading. Anyone with a desk job in the US usually has a business card, not necessarily pafosniye dyadki
