35. Slide 35: Wikipedia: Collaborative Encyclopedia Being Edited in Real Time by Anyone Talking about the importance of wikis for business, BusinessWeek wrote in 2005: Internet research firm Gartner Group predicts that wikis will become mainstream collaboration tools in at least 50% of companies by 2009. At Ann Arbor (Mich.)-based Soar Technology Inc., an artificial- intelligence company that works on projects for the Office of Naval Research, wikis enable the company to slash in half the time it takes to complete projects. Soar engineer Jacob Crossman says that’s because the wikis eliminate the usual flurry of back-and-forth attachments and resulting document-version confusion that’s rife in e-mail. At Dresdner, Rangaswami says that among the earliest and most aggressive adopters, e-mail volume on related projects is down 75%; meeting times have been whacked in half.

56. Slide 56: The Bottom Line The value is in the content and how you use it. Not in the technology itself. User involvement embellishes content. Users can participate and produce their own content, or add to others, not just passively sit back and watch the web go by. Tagging gives content meaning. Making it easier to identify, classify, manipulate share and recycle. Users should be able to choose what they get, how they get it, when they get it and where they get it.
