Enterprise-enterprise still involve people and are therefore social. That may not get you all the way there, but it's a start.

There is no Web 2.0, Enterprise 2.0 or 3.0, it's all the same principles applied to different relationships.

I think what we were talking about was something that evolves from Web 2.0. So far social systems extend only to person-to-person relationships. We were asking, what happens when you have enterprise-to-enterprise relationships?

Is this a better way to express trust between organizations? Is it more powerful?

The apps include the platform b/c without the apps, what utility does the platform have? You can't divorce the two yet. This is like the old hardware vs. software debate. Who won? All the platforms (think social networks) out there need to drive users to them. Beyond the vanilla experience, what do they have to attract people?

IMHO, the relationship is symbiotic, for now. As platforms become commodities, the killer apps will reign supreme.

The game will be played at the platform level. The one that controls the platform controls the apps. I believe that social apps will show the way, but we need to stay focused and learn to build a successful platform.
