Interesting stuff. I think they somewhat misused that 20% statistic, though. I followed that link and it seems like the problem it refers to is tracking down organization-internal info that isn't in a searchable format (hence the suggestion of org-internal social media). People need wikis. ; )

That sounds kinda like "might not scale to big Wikipedias", alas. Bummer. They also use a lot of features that aren't applicable to us, unfortunately. But the relevance vs recency thing is indeed thought-provoking.
