Great article. I like the way you address informal and social learning and complementary ideas. Also, I agree that the adoption of social learning technology is somewhat an issue with many businesses, but it is gaining in popularity.

There are social learning management systems like TOPYX that have award winning social learning and community-building tools available for businesses of any size because there are no per user fees. For social learning to work, everyone has to be involved.

Businesses will more likely be quicker to move as they see the ROI involved.
