I like the part where you said "The more successful E2.0 projects are focused on smaller groups than the entire enterprise." I totally agree with that. I have thought more about this topic this morning and I agree that no matter how you see it, critical mass is important. Everyone should be using it or contributing to it for Enterprise2.0 to be successful. @Doug, Great points.

The more successful E2.0 projects are focused on smaller groups than the entire enterprise. Wikipedia for the enterprise is generally less successful than a wiki for managing a specific project. You need a critical mass of the group to be communicating in the same way. That may currently be email and attachments. Social media offers a new way to communicate. Critical mass is needed.
