Andrew McAfee provides another short insightful roundup on corporate uses of web 2.0 technologies like blogs, wikis, RSS, tagging, social bookmarking etc. In short, use them e.g. for:
- collaborative production of documents (and meaning, understanding, commitment as I would add)
- build a corporate encyclopedia, a “Wikipedia” for corporate data
- as all-purpose teamware
- a mega-adaptive ‘war room’ for fast-changing situations
- spreading knowledge … and searching widely
- ‘crowdsourcing,’ i.e. leveraging emergence by farming out tasks to a distributed crowd of people who decide individually and flexibly on what they want to work on
