Considering that anything that smacks of social networking (or not-working, as it is sometimes dubbed) is blocked by an increasing number of corporate IT teams, and a lot of corporates are very skittish about letting anything out of their control, I reckon there is likely to be a chasm as wide as the Grand Canyon between what the learning team would like and what the IT team will allow :-(

As a learning geek married to a CIO, I can attest to the fact that this debate is ongoing in my home. At work, there is no debate - the techies are unquestionably in charge! If I want the moratorium lifted on any site, I have to produce a quantitative business case that includes ROI.

Sigh.
