http://tvh.disqus.com/The Virtual Handshake: Sell, Raise Capital, Look for Deals with Social MediaenFri, 21 Apr 2006 14:59:27 -0000http://www.thevirtualhandshake.com/blog/2006/04/16/web-20-inside-the-enterprise#comment-8724037<p>David, I came across this article, as well, and agree with Ross Mayfield's feedback....but I think a great point is being missed. I believe the Web 2.0 defining technologies (blogs, wikis, RSS, AJAX, etc) are doing much more to change the enterprise than simply help people connect and find information faster. These enabling technologies are changing how enterprise app companies are looking at their own product suites. There is a massive shift underway - a convergence of collaborative technologies - that is way beyond blogs and wikis. It includes federated data stores, state machine engines that reach from the desk of the designer to manufacturing to the desktop, and XML artifacts that can move securely from any app to any other app, wherever you need them, regardless of the OS. I know your focus is more on the social software / personal connection side, but the change these technologies are bringing is just so much bigger than that. Just my two cents.</p>Christian BuckleyFri, 21 Apr 2006 14:59:27 -0000
