Just a small point:

“Which begs the question. What makes business sense?”

Of course, it doesn’t ‘beg the question’ it ‘raises the question.

Here’s a definition of ‘beg the question’

I was asked recently how I find patterns, and I didn’t know the answer….

Approaching it from the other side, could it be that believing too soon that we have an answer, or committing too strongly to a perceived answer, inhibits our ability to recognize patterns?

I think I have quite a few questions relating to your blog entries, J P — but I haven’t quite figured out what they are yet. :)

Thanks ever so much for all of your sharing.

[...] Musing about sharing and social in business – confused of calcutta – "Businesses exist to create customers" (Drucker). "They are organised into firms in order to reduce transaction costs" (Coase). JP explores the potential of social media to reduce business transaction costs within the trust frameworks found in social networks, and adds some substance to the arguments that networks are increasingly the "business structure" that will be most effective in a cognition rich working environment.

Posit further, to really improve performance, enterprise user interface needs a capability to share, same as Facebook has proven, in a “trusted space”.

Already seeing new convenient shared UI:
* Super mindmap capture: @ericries ‘s #gtug talk http://t.co/qU7AGN5
(So easy)

Not seeing older sophisticated apps gain shared UI:
* Small CPA offices during tax season have another CPA office check their work on complex taxes. Existing tax software doesn’t allow sharing the UI. Print / Bike Messenger / Wait for other CPA office / no gestures of progress / Wait / Done / Bike Messenger…(it could be so much easier)
