Every source of energy must be directed or it dissipates. A good Social Business Architect can help an organization structure its thinking about how they want to structure their efforts, and get them to examine just exactly what they should be putting effort into. It all has to of course start with 'What are the vision, strategy, and goals of the organization? And why should anyone inside or outside the organization care if it gets more social? All the best, Braden @innovate Thank you for the comment Chris.

I've been saying for a while that "Social without structure is chaos". What works well for personal relationships won't translate directly into the workplace, where it is about collaboration and communication. Common goals (or even having goals) makes the use of social technology different in the enterprise. Great article. I’ve been saying for a while that “Social without structure is chaos”.

So many great comments. I will try and address your comments the best I can: 1. I agree that Blockbuster deserves to perish for not being more strategic and trying to figure out where the value is and then focusing relentlessly. 2. If you don't have broadband, then sure Redbox is better than nothing. If you do have broadband then over time as I stated in the article, the Redbox only solution will seem inferior and eventually you will be tempted to Netflix or another solution. For me this was the case and now for $10 a month I can watch as many movies as I want instantly (of course only a small % of Netlix's inventory is available this way) and I can have one disc out at a time - theoretically allowing me to have 8-10 discs a month (pretty much any movie I want) for $10 plus the movies that they do have available via the internet. 3. The big risk for Netflix is the same risk Redbox faces - access to movies. The movie studios control access and I have no idea how long the Starz! back door that Netflix is using for their on demand movies will last. 4. I don't think that I have the power to put Redbox out of business, nor am I trying to (they're a local company in this part of the woods). The point I'm making is that Redbox benefits more by Blockbuster being in business than by them being out of business (despite what some of you think) because Blockbuster's selection backstop made a physical movie only solution more valuable than online/offline Netflix solution for some people. Markets are driven by value and experience, and I think the disappointment that increased Redbox traffic and limited selection will cause actually accumulate over time and inspire changes in behavior. They have for me. All the best, Braden @innovate Yay!

While those of us with Netflix are enjoying all the instant streaming options available to us, we have ISP's looking at any way possible to limit our access to online video. Throttling, tiered pricing, and especially bandwidth caps may kill the streaming revolution if they become standard practices for ISPs. Every time someone proclaims the death of physical media, I think of this and tell them to tap the brakes. You are leaving out a huge component to this equation: bandwidth limits.
