Ansu Sharma suggests that Enterprise 2.0 is same as Web 2.0.
I disagree:
Web 2.0 works from the bottom up, while enterprises are most emphatically top down.
You gain power on the next generation web by sharing information. You gain power in an enterprise by having information, and withholding it.
With Web 2.0, we can all engage in role [...]
In Satisfaction: The Science of Finding True Fulfillment, psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns proposes that satisfaction lies not in simple hedonism, but in feeding our brains with challenging, novel experiences. Last week, I was exploring how to maintain enduring passion when you’re a serial enthusiast. I concluded that keeping things new was the secret. In [...]
Google’s coming out with a web-based spreadsheet and Tom Foremski is not amused:
[Is] it okay for Google to compete with many smaller companies, using its massive scale, integrating the applications into its platform - and not even bother to try and monetize those applications? And it is not even in its mission?
It is certainly not [...]
Via Mathew Ingram, I’ve rediscovered Kent Newsome after he somehow escaped my subscriptions list during our move from Maui to Denver at the end of March. Mathew blogs regularly on Saturdays and Sundays and so do I. We occasionally find each other in the quiet halls of the weekend Internet. It’s peaceful, like when you [...]
Joshua Porter of Bokardo argues against considering online life and life-in-the-flesh as separate:
I think the dichotomy of a “digital life” being somehow different from our “real life” is becoming more false every day. Not only do people understand how web technologies work, but they’re leveraging them to improve all parts of their lives. And the [...]
Don’t count on mindless consumerism these days. We consumers have so many ways of figuring out what we need and getting it at a good price. When I want to buy some new gadget, I check reviews on CNET and ZDNet. Long before that, I’ve been made aware of the whole landscape of possibilities by [...]
You don’t usually see “JavaScript” and “Python” in the same sentence or even in the same article. That’s because they’re most often used for two different purposes by two different kinds of people. JavaScript is usually used within a Web browser whereas Python is used either on the server or as a general-purpose scripting language. [...]
One exciting thing about applying Web 2.0 concepts to the enterprise is how they might promote more fluid organizational dynamics. I like to imagine the move to Enterprise 2.0 as a kind of phase shift, from a solid to a liquid or a liquid to a gas. Atoms (individuals) and molecules (organizational units, teams, any [...]
Web 2.0 vs. SOA. This topic overlaps the fascinating question of what might bring about Enterprise 2.0 and, as prequel to that, what Enterprise 2.0 might be. To me, it’s clear we’re nowhere near Enterprise 2.0 and architecting systems using Service-Oriented Architecture won’t get us there, not by itself. Web 2.0 fundamentally changes the relationship [...]
Adam Green calls James Corbett’s Web 3.0 wonderings “snark bait.” Here’s some more chum—bring on the snarks. I’ve been thinking about what Web 3.0 will bring for two months now. Two months ago I came back to tech after a five-year stop out and realized that the Web had shifted paradigms while I was changing [...]
