Jive and Lithium often compete head on. However, all vendors are rapidly differentiating to cover specific verticals. For example, Jive does great with the software companies of the world. As this space matures, expect the Oracle-Siebel"s, MIcrosofts, and SAP's of the world to start competing with them directly over time. - Ray Mike – thanks for asking.

Not sure I follow what you are trying to say - "While Jive is often compared with Lithium, the likely outcome – continued verticalization and increased friction with the larger enterprise software players." Jive and Lithium are often viewed as competitors (though sometimes not), and were both chosen as (the only) leaders in Gartner's recent SCRM Magic Quadrant. What differences do you see in the growth/focus of the 2 respectively? Thanks! Could you guys explain this one a little further? Not sure I follow what you are trying to say –
