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."

enterprise2.0 forrester hinchcliffe analytics

Intriguing new just-released reports now show that between a third and one half of businesses either already are or will be employing so-called Enterprise 2.0 tools in the workplace (blogs, wikis, and social networking/messaging) in 2009.
The data also show that security concerns remain high, access is actually fairly low, compliance with mainstream enterprise data practices is poor, and some workers aren’t planning to get anywhere near them.

- A major change has taken place in many organizations over the last year and so there is imbalance and uncertain about how to best use the resources at hand.
- Using the right tool for the job while at the same time understanding that the Enterprise 2.0 tools change the very nature of the job is going to be essential for achieving good outcomes in virtually every organization.
- Blogs, wikis, and activity streams (those event lists in apps like Facebook and Twitter that tell you what’s happening in near real-time)
- The intrinsic design of these tools creates much more of a usable, accessible information ecosystem than traditional tools. These traditional tools can create powerful, local information flows but little build-up of value over time or collective intelligence. In other words, the new social tools change enterprise knowledge flow by making it more social, more open and public, discoverable, and ultimately, the most leverageable.
- When should social tools be used for getting work done and when should the older, traditional tools be used that keep information submerged and unusable by the rest of the organization.
- Hint: The create the most value for the organization (and themselves), workers should generally default to social tools unless the information is highly sensitive.
