If you're given the tools to build a social community, that does not mean that the community will suddenly just appear. Still, enterprises will view LotusLive in different light. Might make sense to an enterprise if you already have a Lotus-heavy backend, as it will have many synergies with the Notes or Domino or Quickr server that you already own. Whether users will take advantage of these integrated tools you're offering, however, is a different question altogether. Would I prefer to use a platform like Facebook or to use LotusLive that ties in nicely with my corporate Lotus mail is the question. Can corporates "force" or encourage end users to adopt a platform? There might have less impact than they think, according to some analysts I spoke to. We'll see. Yup.

And while collaborations with Skype and LinkedIn dispel the notion of SNS as walled gardens, the fundamental social element still seems missing, no?
