Why is Enterprise Web 2.0 like Teenage Sex?

It is on everybody's mind all the time.
Everyone is talking about it all the time.
Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it.
Almost no one is really doing it.
The few who are doing it are
- doing it poorly
- sure it will be better next time
- not practicing it safely.

But is it right you work for a company that claims to deliver the first enterprise ready web2.0 software toolset

Yes I do, as stated in the side-bar. Taking the little analogy further would that make IBM the "Pro-Familia" of Enterprise Social Software?

P.S: Actually that software rather "escaped" from IBM. Or how would you describe software that is in use for a couple of years internally with huge cost savings (>150 Million $/year for profiles a.k.a BluePages alone) before it becomes a product.
To be very clear: Tounge-in-cheek mode please!

Add these:

- It always looks easy when someone else is doing it.
- It's never as good as your friends say it is.
- Your life isn't changed after the first time.
- You are an outcast if you say you don't want to do it.
- If you do it all the time, people lose respect for you.
- No one does it right the first time.
- Just doing it more often doesn't make you better at it.
- Doing it wrong can cause you a great deal of pain and embarrassment.
