Bob McBroom says : "The international character of threaded discussions is a familiar benefit to those who use the Web for recreation, but McBroom adds another explicitly corporate benefit by way of an example. "Someone has an idea on how to use borates in, say, road building," he says. "We have a sales manager in France who has contacts at a road building institute. We can all get suggestions to him with different levels of expertise -- marketing, chemistry. We can give him advice. It's cross-functional."

Charles: "Patti, as you are into networking analysis and social networking, I have a question: do people really like to reveal their networks?" Patti: "I remember how John Galloway developed Netmap to do just this, but found that, in general, people preferred to keep their social capital to themselves, rather than reveal them. On the other hand, with the development of Social Software and Blogging, social networking seems to be taking on a life of its own."
