Track: Day 2 & Keynote

Fifteen years ago, email was the newest hottest thing that was going to change our lives. And it has. But as any technology matures (read: becomes less new and cool, and more ever-present and old -faithful) bad usage habits start to creep in.

After that momentous cultural shift from not using technology at all to using email, we face a slightly less daunting, but far more important one today: Together, wikis, blogs, and email are a powerhouse for productivity and efficiency, but what’s the appropriate use for each?

How you deploy a wiki or blog platform for a large enterprise is very different from a small business, university, or non-profit. Each has a different structure, projects, and goals. But all share a need to work more efficiently, and reduce the time spent on tedious, uninteresting, and inefficient tasks.
