Back in February an article I wrote, “Implementing Enterprise 2.0″ was published on IBM developerWorks (read the blog entry about this article here). Around the same time as I wrote this piece I also wrote a piece titled “Utilizing Web 2.0 in Business”. This article was published on developerWorks today – and here is the abstract:
While Web 2.0 has been a huge hit with consumers, some businesses have been much slower to embrace it.

See how businesses can exploit the power of Web 2.0 services while simultaneously improving workplace relationships. Empower your employees to share information that helps generate sales leads, aids in recruitment, and assists in strengthening your company’s brand, image, and corporate identity. Explore business-oriented Web 2.0 tools such as LinkedIn and CrunchBase and the Web services and APIs that many of these tools offer, allowing their benefits to be incorporated into other applications.
