Web Worker Daily has just posted a good article from an interview with my manager, Ross Mayfield.
"He spoke about the construction of a social network and how our networks have dense cores (strong ties) surrounded by dynamic peripheries (looser ties)."
"Instead of focusing on files as the crux of collaboration, Socialtext focuses on the people who are creating the documents and sending the messages. You can follow who you want, connect with who you choose, and build your own organizational directory based on your needs and goals so you can tap into the right people to help you get the job done."
Of course many of these same messages could relate to Lotus Connections. So depending on your needs, Connections or Socialtext could provide great value to your company (or your customers if you're a Partner)
