David Berlind builds upon a Cnet article on Enterprise 2.0.
So, after reading LaMonica's story and reading about how Microsoft is adding wiki functionality to Sharepoint and how an IBM executive — the top guy at the company's collaborative software division — is saying that the existing way of doing things is "fundamentally flawed," I see companies that understand the extent to which RSS, wikis, and blogs can be extremely disruptive to the status quo. A status quo that's largely been upheld by them. I see the new intranet, the new protocol of which is RSS.
I should probably acknowledge Microsoft and IBM's entrance into the market Socialtext created. They definitely get it, which has been part of the View Source plan. Within a year, the market will grow more than ever, a function of the exposure and credibility incumbents bring. The litmus test will be if they adhere to the openness they seek to extend. As the best of breed, with the openness to breed, our fun is just beginning.
