Would you like a wiki with that?

So I have been exploring the use of social media inside the organisational firewall (or Enterprise 2.0 as some call it) - esp. in Australia.

I had a very interesting coffee with James Matheson. I received various tip-offs from ACT-KM, including a great conversation with Stuart French who is looking at wiki usage for his MSc. Some initial patterns seem to be emerging:

• Far & away the most used form of social media are wikis.
• Comparatively little use of RSS.
• Wikis are being used in heterogeneous environments along with ECM, EDRMS & intranet systems.
• Most wikis are still at the experimental stage.
• Most wikis are used for collective information sharing rather than full collaborative content creation.

It's also been an interesting day @ Open Publish. More to come on that tomorrow...
