An overview of Larry Sanger’s talk at Outsell’s Go! conference has been around a few months, but I just ran across it on the Digital Universe site in the Blog link.  In this discussion, he cogently identifies what in the biz focused web 2.0 universe goes where…ie, what to do with blogs vs. forums, etc.  [...]

Good article by Bill Roberts in CIO two weeks back, and the first line says it all:
New tools can help, but collaboration is still about culture.

There’s a bit of talk right now about a new study from KPMG about Enterprise 2.0–the title pretty much tells it all: Fad or Future.  I agree with Wirearchy that most of the report seems amazingly shallow, and I’ll go one step further: dated.  They’re still pointing to Dresdner Kleinwort, German banking company, as the [...]

The case made its way all the way to the high court of wikipedians, allowing McAfee to [...]

According to this story in the Financial Times, venture capital is pouring into web 2.0 technologies–more invested in a three month period than any quarter since 2001.  Google’s purchase of YouTube last year has brought a lot of attention to the browser based movement.
The great news is that if this trend continues, we should see [...]

Recall KMNow’s prediction that the next new thing wll be a mashup for the various KM and CM tools an enterprise might use, a skin over everything so the end user doesn’t really ever feel the “behind-the-curtain” reality of mis-matched channels and applications–magic! It just works.
Over at Really Strategies Blog, there’s a very cogent [...]
