Makes it seem like Enterprise Platforms are different genetically from Social Platforms (Mark)

These platforms are somewhat different in a couple of ways:

1) They are designed with collaboration and workgroup features in-mind.

2) Commercially available platforms are either standalone or allow API access and aggregation through RSS feeds -- APIs are great in Enterprise, RSS not so much because of the bulk in an RSS feed -- it clogs network traffic in a closed network, which is why IT folks give a frowny face when it's mentioned.

3) While not a rule, Jive and Sharepoint 2010 can be installed on servers within an organization's network

4) While many people would direct their own learning activity on platforms like Facebook, very few people would independently adopt Jive or Sharepoint. They certainly don't come to a Jive network vicariously -- they are channeled to it through other motivations (like work).(Aaron).
