If you think that the enterprise-wide wiki you’ve been pushing to install is going to change the culture of your organization, think again. That wiki is going to reflect the culture of your organization, not change it. Use wikis to eliminate email! It will continue on the wiki. Enterprise 2.0 Cure cancer!

In the last several years we’ve seen a remarkable shift from blogs and discussion forums to instant update platforms like Twitter and Foursquare. But hey, better that than yet another wiki that no one uses, right? Social media has even had time to have what I call ‘nano-changes’ (nano as in rapid changes within a larger change).
