Jeff Nolan's take on innovation, entrepreneurship, tech and stuff that interests me
There was much discussion over the weekend about Enterprise 2.0, spurred on by the discovery that the term had been deleted from Wikipedia for being “too businessy”. The Irregulars (aka the enteprise bloggers sewing circle) debated, argued, and hypothesized over the course of what felt like 8,000 emails (not very web 2.0 but it is [...]
