Three Trends to consider for Enterprise 2.0

Andrew McAfee, discusses three main trends that we should take serious about Enterprise 2.0
this is very good post that I suggest you to read.

These trends necessary to to move toward a successful application of Web 2.0 in enterprises and in next generation of the Internet Applications.

People don't pay for stuff these days so you should Offer free services.
In addition we are busy enough so we like to use simple tools with good functionalists. one of the practices in this regard is shopify which is a simple way for people to open up their own online store. This is one of the new generation web applications that has been discussed in one of e-Business cluster sessions in Ottawa.

In addition, providing freedom for users to express what they want in the way they want is really important. User's like to have power not to be imposed by the system.

Finally, I'd like to add the networking and collaboration factor of the 2.0 online world.
As we have all seen all next big things now are consider communities and networks of people as one of their most their most important bases.

We should not forget that the syndication of information is what we all need in this new version 2.0 of the world which it is not really hard to get flooded with information in it. Web 2.0 environment not only helps us to increase the information (Wikis, Blogs, etc) but also helps to find what we want in the way that we want (RSS, Atom, tags, etc.)
