Very interesting article, to put in relation with the "The web is dead" recent article from Chris Andersson (Wired). Yes , web in not the only future of apps (SaaS), apparentlly there is a new model of apps, for mobile and perhaps for other devices also, who are not web interfaces, but based on the internet. So internet is everywhere, but UI are not only web interfaces as we could have predict it few years ago...

How web 2.0 usages can facilitate business in this downturn period. I agree, this is very important, because using web 2.0 technologies, it is possible at the same time to decrease financial investments (essential currently), and increase individual and collective productivity and efficiency. I don't know why top managers are not understanding this in our countries. I know that this is not easy to change people behavior, but this is because most of the companies are very late in this change. If they had started the evolution few years ago...

Malgré leur succès incontesté dans le domaine grand public, les outils de collaboration en ligne du web 2.0 peinent à s'imposer en entreprise. C'est ce que révèle une récente étude du cabinet d'analyse Forrester. Quelques chiffres : 68 % des employés utilisent toujours email & téléphone pour collaborer (!). Ils sont de plus en plus souvent secondés par la messagerie instantanée (15% des employés) et la web conférence (13 %) (seulement !). Les réseaux sociaux ne sont utilisés que par 8 % des employés, les blogs par 5 % des collaborateurs et les wiki par 4 %. MAIS Les outils de bureautique en ligne (Google Apps, Windows Live, etc.) semblent en revanche décoller puisque 16 % des employés y auraient désormais recourt. La transformation des usages vers les nouveaux outils de productivité bureautique est bien en route :)

Excellent article sur les typologies d''identités numérique sur le web 2.0

Full interview of Mark Zuckerberg at Web 2.0 Summit. He starts explaining how FaceBook is trying to redefine email process launching their own email platform.

Excellent article from McKinsey about how web 2.0 tools can improve productivity and efficiency in the company. They are also very well explaining difference between participation and collaboration, which we are ourselves explaining it for many years. It's good to see this difference recognized. The different categories are very well explained also. But one of the key point of this article in the introduction of workflow tecnologies in this area. McKinsey is saying that workflow + participatory technologies is a key enhancer for the company. We agree of course with this, first because companies need both world, and second because providing automation and participation capabilities to the information system is the best way to improve it drastically.

Always interesting to hear what Tim O'Reilly has to say about the future of the Internet

These companies, say the authors, are showing that the use of blogs, wikis, widgets and other Web 2.0 tools "encourages horizontal collaboration and harnesses the power of collective intelligence to boost productivity, foster innovation and create enhanced value".

Very good slideshow about the evolution of the collaboration and how collaboration helps us to improve our work
