The power of tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Yammer, are pretty astounding. A lot of the Social Media Mavens , however, are really ranting, not about the technology, but about the human dynamics related to social networking.

The problem with anything social (social media, enterprise social, social learning) is the 90-9-1 rule which states that 90% of people will not participate. This might not be a problem in social media as a whole, but it is a problem in corporate learning when we want 100% participation. .

Bandura wrote that people learn through observation of other people. So social learning is about watching others and doing what they do?

There will be a need for trainers and/or knowledge managers who will guide, coach, be a catalyst for, and monitor social media and informal learning.
