Social Media for Enterprise

I’m interested in ways to use social networks (public and private) and other social media for enterprise.  I think there is a definite use for internal communications and collaboration and idea sharing. Critical mass and a bit of a paradigm shift are all that is necessary to jump-start the activity.

My challenge to you all is to engage, try it out, search out reasons to use it and lets be trend-setters for the rest of the world. Once we get a little momentum and show a positive response, it will pave the way for other enterprise Web 2.0 initiatives.  If, however, we sit around and wait for things to catch on we’ll lose the momentum and the old school mentality and general malaise will win out.

A little effort now will create a lot of reward later, especially for those of us trying to drive change from within large organisations.  If we don’t get up and make a move we lose the right to call out our counterparts for not embracing change and growth.

Consider yourselves challenged and let me know how it goes in the comments field.
