Social Media Content Audit

One of the most formidable barriers to the widespread adoption of social media tools within enterprises is fear of failure.   

What if we make blogs, wikis and other social collaboration tools available and nobody uses them?  Unlike the consumer side of the web where the fact that individuals seek out, self-select and manage the social software they want to use is a reliable indication of their motivation to use it, corporations simply have to take it on faith that somebody within the organization will think of something useful to do with these new tools.
