Established vendors of collaboration software are modifying their offerings and repositioning them as social software platforms that have all the features and functions necessary to support the new modes of interacting and getting work done. Because of these facts I usually dodge questions about specific vendors and their offerings, and instead answer how I’d look at any particular deployment of collaboration software to see if it met my definition of Enterprise 2.0.

I figured it would be good to exercise my memory a bit and unearth some of the key stories that led me to to my social media use today, and perhaps surface some of my patterns. The history approach also shows that while the term “social media&# was not in play when I jumped in, the social use of online media has been growing for many years – well before my online time. Social media is a great place to fail. Social media enables this.

My conversation with George was no exception as we spoke at length about Connectivism , social learning networks, and the future of current learning technologies (LMS, LCMS, etc.) in light of social media. This is a list of roughly the top 35 or so social media vendors providing a broad core set of social media capabilities.

For me, the most interesting part of the conversation came as I gave him one of my standard pieces of advice: exercise tight control over technology choice, and as little as possible over technology use. When I see 20-page social media policy documents, I always think they could be reduced to one sentence: “We’d really prefer that you not use social media.&#. His company had just finished a lengthy effort to draft its social media policy, which was also lengthy.

And SmartCloud for Social Business does that beautifully. I have gone through that path far too many times with other social tools and it’s never been pretty. I still make use of some Apps from the darker side of the Social Web.

You may still remember how a while ago I put together over here a couple of blog posts, where I was talking extensively about the Social Business Adaptation Framework I’m currently using when working with clients in their various different change initiatives as part of their own Social Business journey. That’s why the third pillar of the Social Business Adaptation Framework I keep using all the time has always been about building a solid library of use cases.

A blog is as much a very practical tool for my everyday work as an exercise in itself. Software developers have created an incredible educational environment for themselves that supports the idea of “public learning”…learning in a way that simultaneously makes the environment smarter. This is what we are used to, whether we hear it on the phone, read it in an email, or read it on a social software status update.

Build a social life (integrated with your enterprise collaboration approach). And perhaps this is one of the areas where social software tools could surely help make that task of capturing knowledge much much easier.

Two years ago, the focus was on how to apply social software for learning. This is a tough exercise. Time after time in my recent workshops on web-enabled informal learning, I found myself using my own sites as examples of learning technologies. For example, we’d walk through the Informal Learning blog to look at an RSS feed, an internal search engine, scanning the 100 most recent posts, a Creative Commons license, and so on.
