A recent comment I made from this post. –

Alot of us have a certain way of how sharing and collaboration works – the way Wikipedia, facebook and Linux works. However, there are really alot more to such kinds of sharing and collaboration. If you look the nature of a firm, a firm is a social network and teams share and collaborate. The only difference now is that we are moving online! So there is a place for Web 2.0 in organisations – its a matter of identifying it.

Social networking and collaboration exist since the stone age. Web 2.0 is just moving into the technological age. If we hope that a Wikipedia or Linux initiative would exist within an organisation, well all the best. It might happen, in fact I have seen it happen quite a number of times within the organisation I work for. However, these are for the highly driven and enthusiastic bunch. Not all employees are like that. In fact many employees are not like that. Thats where the 90 – 9 – 1 rule comes in. Do not expect people to contribute.

If Web 2.0 is to work within an organisation, it has to be integrated into their work. Make it part of the process, the business, the strategy, the vision, the infrastructure and the people!
