Thankfully, both Lotus Connections and Sharepoint are both mature and extremely capable social software products designed respectively by two companies, IBM and Microsoft, who clearly understands what it means for a software solution to be "enterprise-ready".

I particularly liked your closing line: "After all, we are talking about Enterprise 2.0, and not Department 2.0, or SMB 2.0, right?" That's so important! You *must* look for something that scales *and* integrates with your existing environment. Often the excuse that I hear from my fellow co-workers is that they are turned off by the fact that they have to open yet another browser to go to yet another web application. I then tell them how *wrong* they are! With Lotus Connections, for example, you can use it from Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Outlook, Windows Explorer, Portal, Notes, Sametime, BlackBerry, Sharepoint... In fact, social software should adapt to **you**... not the other way around.! Jon, you clearly get it.. !
