One thing that is very lacking in corporate social media is the building of individual relationships. Private one-on-ones don’t create public content to be monetized, so they’re kind of just… there. But I think there’s a lot more structure that could be applied to it. Making social maps more explicit and editable by an organizing committee. Allowing people to pick up and record information about relationships and assign themselves relationships to grow.
This sounds more like you're describing a function than a goal?
The functions required by the site would be informed by the goal, the starting point for considering and designing out the entire project is therefore not the function but "What is this trying to do?"
