You’ve probably heard by now that Time has declared "You" to be the Person of the Year, due entirely to Web 2.0. The introduction to the cover story makes some interesting points:
"Sure, it’s a mistake to romanticize all this any more than is strictly necessary. Web 2.0 harnesses the stupidity of crowds as well as its wisdom… But that’s what makes all this interesting. Web 2.0 is a massive social experiment, and like any experiment worth trying, it could fail. There’s no road map… But 2006 gave us some ideas. Go on. Tell us you’re not just a little bit curious."
The article doesn’t mention Enterprise 2.0 – the application of Web 2.0 tools, approaches, and philosophies within organizations, but the quotes above are as relevant for the Intranet as for the Internet.
If you’re a business leader and you’re not just a little bit curious about Enterprise 2.0, why not? Do you not want your organization to become any more lateralized, searchable, multi-voiced or self-organizing? Do technologies that help put into practice managerial philosophies other than command-and-control make you uncomfortable?
Or are you completely happy with how people in your company intersect and interact? Do they have all the tools they need to do so?
Or do you think that Enterprise 2.0 technologies are currently too insecure, unstable, expensive, hard to install, and/or hard to use to be worth the bother?
Or do you think that there’s really nothing new under the sun? Are you so tired of IT hype that you’ve simply stopped listening?
That, I think, would be a serious mistake.

Scince Freud we have permission to look for real source of thoughs. What is current situation of press editors? Is their advertising income growing? Is their number of readers growing? Because of competition? Maybe people are loosing ability to read? No, the cause is Internet, but what it really is? Let’s go and check. Oh, yes: our crisis is not because we do not understand needs and lifestyle of our readers, it is because of big, global, civilisation changes what name is Web 2.0.

This article was not about Web 2.0. It was about press editors stress and fear.
Enterprise 2.0 is great.. But clever application of opensource apps & services can yeild far better results.
Most of the software required and technologies needed today is found as Open Source years back.
Wisdom teeth is a nonsense.
What to me pleasure of what at me in 25-30 years has grown a teeth without which I already easily manage for a long time?
Where they were, when I in a youth teeth opened bottles with beer because it was abruptly? When I clicked a teeth nuts?
And then, why from name “Wisdom teeth” – I that, somehow in another way to chew has learnt? Not how earlier when I was the young fool? Whether business if to years to 30 grew, for example, wisdom fingers! Better, of course, on each hand on the additional index. But on the second big – too it is normal. And then it would be wisdom fingers – because now I precisely know, for what I should seize both hands, to hold strong-strong and never to release. Or from what to wave away – yes, now I know, from what I should wave away very much, sometimes so there is no pair of superfluous fingers on hands that from it to wave away.
Or here, a wisdom eye. It is necessary certainly, to change the passport by 30 years because you on a forehead had one more eye… Well also I represent, as it will be scratched. When it begins to be cut through – hard, yes. But – what pleasure to look in three eyes at that, on what you could not see enough in both in any way… And points cool can be carried – represent, what turn the fashion industry can make!
I ask me to excuse, it is simple a teeth strongly are ill
this seems to be an informative post and it pertains to enterprise for those business minded person.
