"Nice post, Bruce.
We have always threaded the collaboration platform across our apps. Now with our latest release (http://ow.ly/ycvE3) we enable this both ways - bring in third party data and content into SAP Jam and embed SAP Jam into both SAP and third party apps.
One thing though: the view you describe is a process centric one. That's no doubt significantly better than stand alone collaboration. I love how it blends transactional and engagement aspects of that process. But to build on it and make it truly user centric, you need one collaborative fabric to thread across this marketing process and the other 3-4 work patterns that each user goes through every day.
So glad you commented on this topic - you know more than most do about this space. Hope you're well."

"Just outstanding. Few people love this medium as much as you do, few people are as curious you are, and even fewer people genuinely want to get better and better at their craft as much as you do. Wish you all the best!!"

"Thanks for the comment, Derek. I'm not so sure about that. The goal is not to squash the top end of the idea funnel but to design a culture that broadens the bottom end of executable ideas. Every one wants to think of ideas but the best of us aren't satisfied until their ideas see the light of day."

"Thanks Brian. Agree, sometimes its about failing fast. @alexbard had the QOTD this weekend with this tweet: "Don't rush me. I'm making mistakes as fast as I can.".:)"

"Thanks Ben. You make a great point. The velocity of diffusion was largely left to bottom up models in the last decade and that never happened because of missing business context in enterprise social software. Top down only again is at best a plea and no ones paycheck depends on it. And best practices don't really got you too far as they are too specific to a single work culture. I take solace in the fact that these "traditional" businesses have in fact embraced Ariba for their supply chain and LinkedIn for their recruiting efforts. The right business context does exist in these network-first models. Its why I made the move to product. :)
Thanks for chiming in on the re-design. Im really digging it."

"Thanks :). Still tweaking plug ins and the design (e.g. my mug shot is way too big!. Re: disqus, i'm torn - i have a lot of historical content in that platform. Lets see how it plays out. I also need to see if Livefyre has a migration facility."
