2.0 for Self-Expression and Collaboration When I started computing more than a decade ago I remember it took me weeks to learn a new program for self-expression, calculation or collaboration. Today it takes me about five minutes total, it doesn't require any skills and within seconds I can take part in a worldwide distributed live-communication.

The difference?

I'm using modern Web 2.0 technology like a blog, shared wikis, RSS, folksonomies and AJAX to organize important information in hassle-free Web sites. Additional today's Web-based platforms let information structure emerge instead of imposing structure, filter, sort and prioritize the information (flood) and set a serious trend for the future. Light-weight collaboration techniques, user-suggested tags, bottoms-up approach are just a few expressions to name in a 2.0 context.

• Simplicity Will Win in Web 2.0

Enterprise management and enterprise IT management need to recognize this trend, Web 2.0 technology and business concepts can help an organization to

• take advantage of the new social and workplace trends
• lower costs and improve functionality
• embrace innovative new products, services and applications
• increase knowledge and capability

I'm thinking already about the next level of interacton and participation.

• Web Vision of a World in 3D
• Web-Mapping Applications with Google API
