Early signs of the shift abound. Walt Disney (DIS), investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, and scores of other companies use wikis, or group-editable Web pages, to turbo-charge collaboration. Other firms are using button-down social-networking services such as LinkedIn and Visible Path to dig up sales leads and hiring prospects from the collective contacts of colleagues. Corporate blogging is becoming nearly a cliché, as executives from Sun Microsystems (SUNW) chief executive Jonathan Schwartz to General Motors (GM) Vice-Chairman Bob Lutz post on their own blogs to communicate directly with customers.

The Writable Intranet does not have series of static pages where information is disseminated "top down." It is the place where employees collaborate, exchange thoughts, create plans, capture meeting notes, track projects, create documents (not word documents but documents that are Web pages and have version control). The Writable Intranet marks the end of e-mail as the collaboration platform. The Writable Intranet means that enterprise knowledge is "free" and searchable by anybody. The "freedom" implies that knowledge is neither in e-mails nor in documents, but in easily accessible and searchable repositories. The Writable Intranet means information which is a constant source of data to other people who make modifications at will.

That's why companies are warming to the idea of opening their information-technology systems to do-it-yourselfers. And they spy an intriguing way to do that with what are known as mash-ups, or combinations of simple Web 2.0 services with each other into a new service (see BW Online, 7/25/05, "Mix, Match, and Mutate").The big advantage: They can be done very quickly with existing Web services.

The reason: As appealing as that social aspect is for teens and anyone else who wants to stay in closer touch with friends, it's even more useful in business. After all, businesses in one sense are social networks formed to make or sell something.

Watch what kids are doing. If they use e-mail at all, it's a distant fourth to instant messaging, personal blogs, and the social networking sites, because they're much easier to use for what matters to them: staying in touch with friends.
