"Awesome. Really good news for Google. Now, how do I turn all your new job notifications off in Plaxo? :-)" - Susan Scrupski

thanks Marshall. I googled "Matthias Twitter Adobe" and it came up immediately too. - Susan Scrupski

"Just curious then, why E-Social-SPs? Did you originally embrace Social, and now are re-thinking that decision? If Social is out, what is its substitute? Enterprise Collaboration Software Platforms? I think as a small community, we should try to strive for consensus. The enemy is not us." - Susan Scrupski

What, you don't like tabbing / spacing while you build your signature in that text editor? - Scott Schnaars

Have you cracked the code on this Scott? Post instructions please! :-) - Susan Scrupski

"Hi Jacob. I've been trying to get to this post since I saw it. You make a great case for strategy consulting and I'm certain all my e20 guru friends are now subscribing to your blog... :-) However, be very careful with these numbers in absolute terms. When we did the study, many of our members were still planning. For instance, one member who took the study answered his budget was less than $500K because they were still fleshing out their enterprise plans. In the past week, his team presented to the CEO and the CEO's direct reports and got approval for a budget 10x that amount for the full roll out. Although, admittedly, very few of our members consulted outside strategic counsel for their initiatives. There is an element of truth to the "snake oil" post Stephen Baker wrote last week. The market is still in its infancy, so it will be a long time before we see big budgets allocated toward strategic planning for e20." - Susan Scrupski

"Hey Jacob. Thanks for covering the report. Many of your unanswered questions are found in the report which will be available next week on our web site. The budget question is answered specifically. As you've pointed out, many of the members were answering for their initial pilots and not the complete roll-out. The typical global enterprise budget (including internal staff, software, change consulting, and ongoing training and management) is well into the multi-millions. A member (large retailer) just this week received approval from his CEO for a $5M budget. This is the first report of its kind for the Council. We will be continuing to publish more data regularly. For fun, you can place your bets with our Prediction Market: https://adoptionindex.crowdcast.com. Thanks again for covering the report." - Susan Scrupski

"How 'bout some link love there, sparky? :-) http://www.20adoptioncouncil.com" - Susan Scrupski

"How did you arrive at the conclusion these companies are not seeing value? These firms are not in the "considering" phase; they've all been personally vetted by me. With very few exceptions, these firms are actively engaged in a 2.0 initiative. If they're in the exploratory stage, they are staffed and budgeted." - Susan Scrupski

What on earth are you doing there? Fun place, but you've confused me... - Susan Scrupski

That's where The Geezers (tm), also known as my parents, now live. And my sister lives about an hour away, also in on the bay in Delawhere... - Mark Masterson

"Sounds great Stowe. Was wondering why we missed you in SF. A majority of our US members are in the Northeast. We'll be there." - Susan Scrupski

"There are a lot of firms who would not even bother coming to a conference on this. Don't assume it's not happening, however. The criticism in the market is only accelerating the business case and generating better rationale for a larger spend. For a list of companies who are committed to a 2.0 initiative, see this list: http://itsinsider.com/2009..." - Susan Scrupski

Vista crashes for you every few hours? Wtf? - Mark

Love Win7, haven't gotten the official release yet, but have been running the RC for like 3 months. - Nathan Snyder

"I think I will put "private jet" on my Santa list this year. I would love to be at Defrag, but can't justify all the travel in such a concentrated span of time. Boooo!" - Susan Scrupski

Do tell if you see any good sessions on Xcelsius- I'll be using it at work sooner or later. #sapteched09 - Daniel J. Pritchett

Oh, won't miss that. Timo just posted something else really cool. Saw it on my iphone. Will try to find the link, but probably on his web20 blog... - Susan Scrupski

is it only me having trouble with twitter? - Susan Scrupski

"Maybe what we need to evolve to is the correct time and place for email. Hey, I actually love gmail, to be honest. But I reject your suggestion that those of us who have become accustomed to the most expeditious use of email must bow to those in authority who refuse to learn new tools (and slow down our productivity). That's harsh, I know, but the reality is-- there are more efficient, more productive ways of working that happen to involve the 2.0 practices we've assimilated into our work life that, yes, don't include email. There's a larger discussion around this topic focused on evolving communication/collaboration patterns-- similar to your example with voicemail. But srsly, we need more folks in authority (cough, cough) to explain to the non-converted the who/when/why/where and how these changes should be adopted for the benefit of everyone involved. And perhaps accelerate that rate of change. I realize that's what you're attempting to do here, but (ouch) please don't perpetuate..." - Susan Scrupski

it's a good thing I have a special connection... :-) - Susan Scrupski

"It's a curious thing, and I'm not sure why... but SaaS, and SaaS players, are generally not a discussion in the e20 echo chamber. That should probably change. I guess it's just assumed SaaS is part of the story, although many customers prefer to host their own social software behind the firewall. In this case, I'd say Conformity wouldn''t fit neatly into the e20 vendor landscape. Looks like a great company/offering though. Thanks for the heads up. Will keep my eye out." - Susan Scrupski

ugh - Susan Scrupski

"Really pleased to be working with you and Dan, Carl. Very much looking forward to the results of our study! On the demographics, I was just looking at our Facebook Fan page for the 2.0 Adoption Council. http://bit.ly/m1KKx The data is presented in nearly a perfect bell curve with Males age 35-44 at the mean. The majority of fans are absolutely Males 25-54... and this is Facebook (!), the haven for Millennials. So, I might concur Enterprise 2.0 not for kids. Check it: http://bit.ly/17qFsF The good news is-- if we can't sell them wikis and blogs (or research), we might try our hand at sports cars and golf clubs. :-)" - Susan Scrupski

"Hey. Just did a phenomenal interview with a large, well-known, Wall Street investment bank. Ironically (Den), it was the audit and compliance global organization that drove an e20 solution to answer an age-old problem: high inefficiencies and underutilization. It's an impressive global rollout that incorporates 5 financial center locations with the firm's subject matter experts in product, trading desk, regulatory, and banking. The initiative has yielded a "huge leap forward" due to the transparency and visibility the firm has as a result of breaking down the fiefdom walls that impeded the firm's progress in years past. Greatest challenge? The people issues. It forces employees to communicate more. Additionally, the new processes expose the weak links in the firm and threaten job security/relevance. Greatest benefit? The initiative answers to the Board of Directors and provides predictable, reliable reporting that mitigates risk and ensures regulatory compliance." - Susan Scrupski

"This comment will sound like spam, but it's not. This is an awesome post, Joel. Thanks for taking the time to write it. SharePoint is the 800-lb Beast in the 2.0 Adoption Council, and I've been wondering if there is some Beauty in there." - Susan Scrupski

me either - Susan Scrupski

Viewing this on my iPhone, bit it looks like Jive to me. - Susan Scrupski

Argh! I tried to figure out what mine would say and it came out something like this: "I'm on my team's Sharepoint site. Your team doesn't have one and you aren't authorized to view mine. Have a nice day!" - Daniel J. Pritchett

Sorry Dan for not responding here... I was running around down town- lunch, etc. Socialcast is generously giving us a private instance. Email invite is on its way... - Susan Scrupski

I would've but I read it from the car and didn't think it wise to respond. Suffice it to say that I think we should all use comment aggregators like IntenseDebate and Disqus to bring offsite comments back to the original post. There's still plenty of work to be done in that arena but it looks like we're moving in the right direction. - Daniel J. Pritchett

lol. no, rofl. - Susan Scrupski

Congrats to you & daughter! I may want to talk to you re: IB sometime. My son can apply end of next school year. - Larry Hawes

I highly, highly recommend it. It's extremely tough and demanding, but Amie was introduced to scholarly work in that program... - Susan Scrupski

I have a two year old *and* an e2.0 project. Life is pretty fun! - Daniel J. Pritchett

Like Daniel, I'm experiencing both at the same time. My 2.5 yo easily beats E2.0 in the joy department! - Larry Hawes

"What's truly terrifying about this post is you were discussing wiki adoption at a 4rth of July BBQ." - Susan Scrupski
