The single most credible survey I’ve found to date confirms what I’ve been saying for some time: Web 2.0 is still a lot of hype, and not a priority for many.
A Robert Half Technology survey of 1,400 CIOs in the
- 14% of organizations use blogs
- 13% use social tagging software
- 11% use wikis
Meanwhile, more traditional technologies are far more popular:
- Online training is used by 47% of the organizations
- Video conferencing is used by 34%
- Collaborative workspaces (e.g. SharePoint) is used by 24%
Now here’s the killer: 72% of CIOs have no plans to use blogs in the next 5 years; 74% no plans to use wikis (a scientifically representative telephone survey of 1400 CIOs, not a self-select, voluntary web survey).
I’ve said on this blog many times that Web 2.0 and Intranet 2.0 is still a truckload of hype and not a priority for most organizations.

However..... read what I have to say about Web 2.0 / Intranet 2.0 becoming a priority in my full column, Web 2.0 not a priority for CIOs.
