Web 2.0 and the Enterprise
Ever since the term was first coined in 2004, Web 2.0 has generated an incredible amount of interest and momentum around Internet services. Web 2.0 services empower users to combine all relevant information into a single location so they can be more productive in their work environment. In addition, Web 2.0 enables users to form ad hoc associations with users inside and outside their organizations as part of a ?social network.? To do this, users need tools that allow them to quickly and easily assemble these services in a meaningful way.

Good to see the notion of Web2.0 in the enterprise gain more traction. This article though, I feel, presents a very narrow and often confusing views on how Web2.0 can fit into enterprises. I see some ambiguities and contradictions.

Web2.0 is more than just mashups (highlighted in the article). And web2.0 should not be confused with web portals. And then the notion of web2.0 services- which is vague and confusing.

As a paradigm, Web2.0 (beyond RIA) brings some freshness into IT solution architectures. A different way of looking at solutions in the enterprise- that with the advent of web went from the hitherto fat-clients model to the now prevailing server based model. The user is now rendered as a passive user of systems available on the internet. While the user does have a whole lot of knowledge and value add possible. The likes of wikis, blogs and syndication have now opened up some interesting possibilities. Especially in creating a more nimble organization and in better capturing and utilizing knowledge and wisdom with the employees.
