In his latest Team Think blog post, ZDNet’s Dave Greenfield highlights "a glaring, underserviced niche" in the enterprise bookmarking and tagging market.
He identifies that the "small enterprise" of 50-500 users has similar security requirements to large enterprises and wants the ease of use of consumer-orientated services, but simply cannot afford the $20+ per user price […]

We’re always interested in new ways to explain social bookmarking and its benefits for business, and these two videos and slideshows do the job perfectly.
First up, the latest in the Plain English series from Common Craft, explaining what social bookmarking is "in Plain English" using the public del.icio.us service as an example.

I’ve just been to the Unicom conference in London on Social Tools for Business Use, and found it really insightful to hear people’s views and experiences on where and how social tools are actually being adopted within organisations.

I’m not sure if R. Todd Stephens is planning another in his two-part "Fifteen Uses of…" social software series (the first being Wikis and Blogs), but I thought I’d pinch his format and chip in with my own Fifteen Uses of Corporate Bookmarking:

Monitoring news/blog coverage of your company
Consumer and competitor research
Identifying subject matter experts within […]

Rex Lee suggests a three-line code for the new Enterprise 2.0 practioner:

Value at all costs the personal impact of social computing
People are not resources to be exploited
Realize that the crowd is not always right

I wanted to highlight a couple of pertinent posts relating to collective intelligence and the power of social bookmarking.
First up is Tapping into the Hidden Talent in your Office from What a Concept! They discuss many of the changes that organizations will experience as a result of a more connected workforce. The last paragraph in […]
