Web 2.0 In the Enterprise

For a time I was an early-adopter and therfore only-geek-on-the-block with Wi-Fi. It became known that if you wanted to learn how to set up a wireless network at home, I was the guy to help with such a task. Soon after I started helping people install wireless networks, teaching them the principles of what I was doing, it wasn't long before I was hearing thier accounts of doing the same at work -- unbeknownst to their IT departments. This was only 3 years ago. Now, I can't think of the last time I was at a business function that did not have wi-fi. Wi-Fi is in every board room, every conference hall, and every convening place on all the corporate campuses and office buildings I frequent. It's even in every starbucks I know.

If you want to get to some Web 2.0 truisms let's start with these:

When Web 2.0 is in every starbucks - that's when every office will want it too.

Web 2.0 will come through the back door into the enterprise. Microprenuers and change agents (those white-collar, cubicle revolutionaries among us) are the ones who'll bring it in.

It will take at least three years from now before every crook and nanny knows what Web 2.0 really means -- systems-interconnectedness and platform-independence.
