"The latest version of Diigo has just gone live, and from what I can tell, it’s growing beyond social bookmarking and going for the “kitchen-sink” approach: Add as many features as possible, so that no matter what a user wants, it’ll be there. "

Dave Snowden drafts a more thorough definition of KM, interesting because of the variety of connections with Enterprise 2.0 I think

Snip "The purpose of knowledge management is to provide support for improved decision making and innovation throughout the organization. This is achieved through the effective management of human intuition and experience augmented by the provision of information, processes and technology together with training and mentoring programmes."

Dave Snowden then adds some more guiding principles ... e.g. on how to organize for more effective KM et al.

Check it out ...

Stewart Mader has a short list of wiki usage ideas:

"Let's look at eight ways a wiki can help you readjust your valuable time to get more of your essential work done, spend less time on meetings and redundant activities, and more efficiently assemble, refine and reuse valuable information.
* 1. Meeting Agendas
* 2. Meeting Minutes, and Action Items
* 3. Project Management
* 4. Gather Input
* 5. Build Documentation
* 6. Assemble and Reuse Information
* 7. Employee Handbook
* 8. Knowledge Base"

Well ... Oliver has some good points - Sharepoint indeed builds up an infrastructure to build upon. But it's more about getting a more widely distributed understanding of collaboration, Enterprise 2.0 and probably some increased market readiness. I guess that's something at least ...

The 2 Types of Collaboration series by Oracle's Billy Cripe is getting interesting - in #3 he's writing about usage and context patterns, what makes business intelligence 2.0 interesting and more.

I say it's not the data, it's meaning and the wisdom that comes from interpreting and understanding ... yes, we're talking about social acts here, benefits that are sometimes underestimated when thinking about collaborative performance - all the while clever thoughts here from Billy, who still manages to call all this ECM ;)

Matt Mullenweg of Wordpress on his style of working - and especially how to manage a successful business where everyone us working from home (yes, we're talking about how to organize collaboration.

Well, microblogging is playing a vital part in it, snippet:

"We all communicate using P2, something we launched that allows users to publish group blogs in WordPress. It's a bit like Twitter, but the updates come in real time. With P2, we can share code and ideas instantly. There is a dedicated channel for each part of the company, and when there's a new message, it shows up in red. It may be someone talking about development or what he or she had for breakfast. I also use Skype for one-on-one and mini group chats."

Umair Haque distills learnings and "messy heuristics" for innovators from looking at Twitter, watch out for the very interesting comments too.

Snippet taken from the comments:
"twitter is an interesting bug. people claim that they "get it", but don't participate. they often cite that they don't have time."

via @DT and as a very welcome reminder, the classic Jakob Nielsen text on participation inequality, aka 90-9-1 rule, complete with visualizations ...

Myself, I have always argued that
1. this is more about the internet, and less about intranets et. al, so Enterprise 2.0 people don't need to worry THAT much
2. 90-9-1 is a deeply pessimistic view on things (alas, you decide whether it's pessimistic or realistic), in the enterprise we should go for 100-100-100 always (and yes, we can)

Another worthwhile analysis of Google Wave, this time by Dennis McDonald who focuses on Wave's potential to support a more ad-hoc informal (soft and fuzzy) mode of collaboration by helping communication, especially in project management (read this together with Dirk Röhrborns learning of using microblogging oin project communcation)

Dirk Röhrborn does a german-language analysis of Google Wave out of an Enterprise2.0 perspective, to sum it up: "Promising, but questions remain"

Snip: "Fazit: Es gibt noch viele offene Fragen.

Mit welchem Geschäftsmodell wird Google das Produkt anbieten? Kostenfreie Nutzung, Premium SaaS, Lizenz oder Appliance - oder alles zusammen?
Wie können organisatorische Strukturen und Berechtigungen abgebildet werden? Wie kann eine Integration in bestehende IT-Infrastrukturen erfolgen? Für welche Anwendungen ist Wave gut oder weniger gut geeignet? Wird die große Flexibilität von Google Wave befreiend wirken oder noch mehr zur Verwirrung und zum Information Overload der Nutzer beitragen?"

Andrea writes a nice compilation of why Google Wave is cute (and collects some E 2.0 points "en passant"):

Snip: "rich set of extensions APIs that can let you build pretty much anything from games to collaborative applications inside wave, to integration with other communication systems (like twitter, etc.), to integration of waves into work flows"

Yes, that's it.

Nicole Simon has done an interview with Clay Shirky, talking about social media as a whole but there are some Enterprise 2.0 related learnings in there as well (when Clay was at this years CeBIT webciety it was like that as well, talking about social media is **very** beneficial to Enterprise 2.0 people too).

Some snippets:
* 5 word synopsis for Here Comes Everybody: The Power of Organizing Without Organizations: Group action just got easier
* relevant participation patterns
* why the product department should adopt these new tools, not marketing
* we are in the infancy of use of social tools in companies
* if old organisations will not catch up, startups will do the job for them

interview future trends collaboration enterprise2.0 socialmedia

via Injelea: Paul Miller about why firewalls are to be lowered

Snip: "In fact, the emerging trend is for increasing access to be given to intranets for people outside the firewall; suppliers, contractors, customers, former staff etc. Major companies globally are looking to open up to their marketplaces, customers and consumers. They are also looking to increase their presence and engagement with social media and emerging 2.0 technologies."

I think so, for example we see that Open Innovation efforts imply an open platform (and why not open up an existing intranet to become more of an extranet in this case). And when we want to have more cross-border collaboration I think that (access-controled) wikis can be a very feasible and cost-effective thing to have, so it's wiki as extranet, is it?

Dion analyzes why Google Wave might be of importance to Enetrprise 2.0 people - and argues that it's very fitting to our concept of FLATNESSES.

I fully agree and am definitely looking forward to kicking the tires of Google Wave.

Snip "Google has launched many communication services since its inception yet none of these have had such obvious business utility or attempted to reinvent the collaborative process from the ground-up."

Tim gives a good rundown of Google Wave - as always more action is happening in the comments. There's a discusiion touching bases on many accounts (Think Ray Ozzie's Grrove, Jon Udell's Practical Internet Groupware and more), what it all means to Facebook, Friendfeed and whatever (personally I think that it's more of a threat to Facebook and not so much to the lifestreaming idea of Friendfeed)

So, given that that the toys of today are the (enterprise) tools of tomorrow, what do we make of this as Enterprise 2.0 people?
