Tony, Firstly anonymous and Thomas is one and the sam person. I was just too lazy to retype my name and email address. Secondly, you are totally missing my point. What I was asking for was to see actual stats rather than anecdotal comments. The fact that a company has 650.000 wikis doesn't mean they are actually being used. So far I have seen very little in terms of usage stats to actually proof that web 2.0 in the enterprise is working. Yes Cisco say they saved millions but there has been no explanation how they arrived at that figure. Discussion with Intranet managers and consultants at every single Intranet conference I have been to in the last 8 months indicate that the adoption figures seem to be very low. Yes geeks like us leave comments on web sites and engage in discussion. However, it would appear that your average run of the mill office drone couldn't care less about engaging in a web 2.0 fashion with their co-workers. I would love to see case studies that include statements like "we saved millions" to show how they arrived at that assumption. Anything but hard facts based on figures are assumptions which I would put down as hype.
