Just like bloomberg was a social tool for bank traders sharing mkt knowledge, prices, products on permissioned basis to other bloomberg users starting way back in the 80's! Agree, hope I didn’t infer that in my writing :(

I've had the discussion recently that Enterprise 2.0 <em>is not</em> Web 2.0. The mindset and values that drive the Web 2.0 companies - openness, freedom, sharing, etc. don't work quite the same way inside the walls of big business, Don't get me wrong, I think that a large number of Web 2.0 tools can and should be used by business. But the people wanting them, their manager and the vendors all need to get their heads around a slightly different, more structured set of best practices before likely success.

Your right about a simple access or no-access approach being less than ideal. If the tools are there to manage it any other way than that, then I'd use them. Thanks Roger.

I think one of the hardest parts about social networking making the leap to the enterprise is the perception of managers. Most only have experience with social networking through the buzz and fritter crowd. Most companies are focused on systems today; they have a couple of hundred years worth of experience that tells them that's where the optimisation opportunities are. But the organisation of the future will be driven to a greater extent by personal innovation and knowledge networks. I wrote about that not too long ago here: http://ciscoetl.wordpress.com/2008/03/09/ill-have-a-large-order-of-productivity-with-a-side-of/ Keep up the good work. Great points.
