It is/was a bit abstract. Just trying to sort out my own thinking and I would be happy to learn more about your experiences. I always worry that I am biased from the peculiar “sample” that constitutes the organizations I have most recently run across.

I.e. there are facts on the ground and ways to find them out. I can give you our experience: in conversations with Fortune 500 companies, we find that they have already made the *enterprise* business case for social bookmarking on their own. They are ready to discuss enterprise-wide rollouts. Often, it can be pretty bizarre; we arrive hoping to achieve a limited-scale pilot, and they move us willy-nilly into a discussion of 'what happens if we bolt social bookmarking on top of enterprise search, and then everyone....' Our customers have pulled us along! Happy to talk more about this with you any time. Respectfully, this post seems a bit abstract — organizations are *already* integrating social technologies.
