"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 Re: disqus, i'm torn - i have a lot of historical content in that platform.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." - Sameer

"It absolutely does go back to the value chain of goods AND of knowledge. I sincerely believe that social collaborative technologies help you get exponentially more value from these knowledge flows. And if you look at the advancements and sheer success in supplier networks for instance, you can see how collaborative networks can add tremendous value when they feed into direction of existing currents. Thanks for the comment, Ed." - Sameer

"Nice summary, John. As someone who leads our product team, we're intently focused on the "doing" part. There's lots of inspiring and pioneering going on in our space and that's never a bad thing. But the pipeline of ideas are filled to the brim. Customers are now at a point where they need to get work done and the promise has to materialize. These work concepts we all espouse are still new and can still seem unnatural. I believe its better to get it out there and then pioneer tactics as customers embrace these more efficient ways of work." - Sameer

"Cool. Let me know when you finish mulling. Love to see where you end up. There's an argument to be made for more serendipity from more connections. That works as a primary mataphor when it comes to  public networks but not as primary in the work context. Purpose trumps that, as I see it." - Sameer

"I love it, Richard. Will take a lot more than words, but nicely put." - Sameer

"Nice riff by @stoweboyd  as a follow up to this post. http://pro.gigaom.com/blog/sam..." - Sameer

"How i got so fortunate to have such meaty comments that can be posts in and of them selves, I dont know but thanks a lot to you and everyone for taking the time. I will do a follow up post to this for sure. You know me, I came out of the gate pushing ever since the first post on this blog. I dont now any other way. :  )" - Sameer

"Larry I love it when the comments are better than my post. Your points are astute. The change will come in many ways and what you lay out will no doubt be some of the real drivers at scale. I only have one hope: that we don't have to wait until the millennials have strength in numbers. :) Until then we better start with putting messaging in context to solve today's problems." - Sameer

"Hey Luis, I cant believe I wrote about this topic and didn't reference your work. Thanks a lot for the comment. Im not contesting whether email should be replaced at all. Its as painful for me as it is for the next guy. My goal was to spark a conversation about how we try different things to make this transition faster. I dont believe were at a point where your usage patters are even slightly close to being replicated at scale but you know that I admire you're tenacity to make the change. For the rest, whist no doubt that its a human/change management issue, I do believe that technology can do much better to make this transformation real and sustainable.We'll get there. Even in my personal social network usage Ive turned off 99% of email notifications and rely on my phone for those so as to remove clutter. But to move meaningful work out of email, we need to stop thinking of messaging as one platform and applications as another. Piece by piece well dismantle email's dominance and you..." - Sameer

"Not sure its really moved on. It should have by now. But regardless, I agree, I cant wait for that moment as well." - Sameer

"Agree Mark. I believe thats underway and yeah, I totally plan to have fun with it.:) Ultimately we wont win against email via a full frontal assault. If we design and pick technology well, well look back and see how were relying less and less on email. It has to be earned." - Sameer

"Clare, thank you for taking the time to write this up. Really appreciate it." - Sameer

"Nicely said. That's the grown up version of the value of social that you described in the last sentence. We've been so subsumed in the relationship aspects that we forget about the full experience required. Thanks for the comment." - Sameer

"Thanks Emanuele. Hence I wrote that you can't put a price on the value of connected enterprises" - Sameer
