". Now IBM's Blue Gene is trying to not just outperform, but simulate the whole damn human brain. It's 4.5 percent of the way there."

And it's still on pace to finish the job of turning the human mind into a componentially-replicable thing by 2019

So you've got eight years to figure out a way to contribute to society that isn't wholly reliant on your brain
"Employees are a key element in social business. As a company starts to activate and officially sanction its employees to publish social media and use social technology, the details of managing the participation of a diverse workforce get tricky quickly."
-
Management almost never wants non-exempt (e.g. hourly) workers to get paid overtime for participating in social media – say an internal community or answering support issues on Twitter while representing the brand.

Most of the people I know who are involved in social media are of the white-collar salaried variety. Many of them participate in order to gain a competitive edge in their work. But what happens when the rest of the company gets involved?

"Most knowledge repositories focus on the role of knowledgecreators. In this paper, by contrast, we examined the work of Lurkers in an enterprise file-sharing service, and we compared

“Enterprise 2.0 is about applications where business value is determined through the contributions of participants.”
Social software provides an answer to the 'why' question. It is a means of giving people what they want in terms of their traditional knowledge management activities, in a way that also benefits the firm.
Additionally, organizations are finding out the 1% contribution rates of most Web 2.0 deployments is not enough to drive business value with a smaller enterprise. Businesses needed to have 20-30% engagement rates in order to show the return on investment required in this economic environment.

One idea that is emerging and getting traction is the idea of utilizing social software technologies in a controlled and secure environment. Some researchers classify this as a closed collaboration model versus an open one. Instead of having the application open to the entire organization, groups are finding value with a predefined customer base.
