Thanks for the clarification. I've been doing the same thing as you, running informal Facebook polls to see what information I can gather. I am fairly convinced, at this point, that Facebook, IF THEY WANT TO, have a winner in Enterprise.

In case it was my remarks you are referring to, let me clarify. What I said was that the term "Web 2.0" was "irritating", and that while the technologies and concepts often meant to be included were useful and important, the attempt incorporate them all into a neat little buzzphrase is not very helpful to organizations trying to figure out how to build or buy modern web applications. I brought up "Enterprise 2.0" and said there was a lot of useful discussion around it, and attempted to recommend Andrew McAfee's blog but couldn't remembe his name at the time. We were the first conference I know of to cover enterprise blogs and wikis and RSS and have been covering them for 3 years, and our report published in March 2005 was certainly one of, if not the first, to talk about how enterprises were actually using these technologies. If you go to gilbane.com and also look around on our conference pages and blogs you will get a better idea of what we really think. I have also been at the Enterprise 2.0 conference (which we sponsor BTW) and it has been pretty good. At the risk of providing more evidence that I am somehow against newer technologies, check out the results of the facebook poll I conducted this week "Facebook Generation on Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration Technologies" at <a href="http://gilbane.com/blog/2007/06/facebook_generation_on_enterpr.html" rel="nofollow">http://gilbane.com/blog/2007/06/facebook_generati...</a>. Obviously this is only an informal poll, but hearing what 1000 Facebook users think is fascinating. Hello Alec and Russ:

I think there is a certain amount of hyperbole at this stage, and it's likely unavoidable. We're probably going to go through a period where everyone tries to use the Enterprise 2.0 hammer for every problem, and along the way we'll learn some things. I think dismissing it, as the folks at Gilbane apparently did, is putting your head in the sand. These technologies are here to stay. Hi Russ!

I wished I could have made it. Maybe next year. I just spoke at the Gilbane Confenernce on DC a couple of weeks ago and many of the analysts and speakers at the conference dismissed Enterprise 2.0 as just hyperbole. I think they are wrong. I agree with you. Thanks for the great insights from the conference. I wished I could have made it. Maybe next year.
