Wikis Are Alive and Kicking in the Enterprise Look in the wiki! If you haven't heard that cry already, chances are you will soon, as the use of wikis in enterprise environments spreads like wildfire. Proliferating virally, wiki usage has grown exponentially in recent months, along with other consumer-centric technologies—including blogs, podcasts and RSS—that have made their way into the workplace thanks in part to the influx of the tech-savvy entry-level employees of so-called Generation Y. A wiki, which means "quick" in Hawaiian, is a Web site that enables users to easily edit and update shared content.

Forrester recently surveyed 119 CIOs on the topic and their answers illustrate what IT honchos want Äì and don't want Äì from social software technologies such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS, social networking, and content tagging. According to the report entitled CIOs Want Suites For Web 2.0, the enterprise Web 2.0 market "is beginning to consolidate". Apparently CIOs have a strong desire to purchase web 2.0 products "as a suite, as well as an equally strong desire to purchase these technologies from large, incumbent software vendors." 61% of respondents indicated that they would prefer both a suite solution and a large, incumbent vendor.
Rough Type: Nicholas Carr's Blog: Two views of Web 2.0 in b « Deneutralizing the net | Main | Is a "neutral" net anticompetitive? » March 21, 2007 Some hard data is coming out this week on the adoption of Web 2.0 tools by companies. » The invasion of Enterprise 2.0 software Blogger and stock analyst Paul Kedrosky introduced the topic of Enterprise 2.0 at a morning workshop at the Web 2.0 Summit by trying not to define the concept, calling the definitional discussion a masturbatory exercise.
