Enterprise 2.0

The idea with Enterprise 2.0 is about using social software in business. Today I replied in a discussion forum on a question whether Sharepoint could serve as a engine for enterprise 2.0 solutions. I do not question the Sharepoint capacity, but is this the best way to go? If you use e.g. twitter and blogs in your private life, would you use the special company blog, and company twitter? I doubt that and think that the whole idea with social software is that the borders is less obvious and one can interact outside the traditional organization.

I propose that the focus instead is on how to use ordinary social software in a way that security, integrity problems can be solved, so that business not need to create a social software that none will use.

For records managers it is a challenge to capture and store records born in social software. But that problem is almost identical even if one use public social software or enterprise developed software.
