Some thoughts for next year
I don't know that I am the best person for prognosticating, but my colleagues at the Corante Web Hub are doing predictions together, and I figure I should join them. These are going to be a little different, as I don't think of myself as a pure "technology guy," though I sure have fun with it.
- Knowledge management will continue to have people running in multiple directions. Someone (me?) will write about how KM is more closely tied to business strategy than is typically discussed.
- More non-tech companies will talk publicly about using blogs, wikis and related tools for internal purposes.
- The next Pew Internet & American Life survey will discover that 25% of internet users say they use aggregators (as of early 2005, this was 5%).
- Blog aggregators (feed readers) will continue to evolve their capabilities present information in useful ways. Specifically, the ability for tools to automatically group related content together will expand beyond threading to include shared tags and even shared text-based "similarity."
- I will be working on a Viable Vision project with my colleagues at the TOC Center.

Interesting predictions. Your #1 is especially relevant because Web 2.0 technologies will probably lead to a whole new class of KM products and services.
I think with #2 is that you will see newer tools that have evolved from the blogs and wikis that will enhance collaborative work especially in academia.
I tried to link to your Viable Vision project but the connection was refused. What is the TOC Center about?
interesting list. hope to see you in
San Diego, as you work on #5
