I finished a paper about web2.0 for Government with my boss Soren Duus Ostergaard IBM, proclaming this to be overseen in the current danish strategy .. as apparently also in other countries around the globe. The real question is why this is the case. Could it be the fact that web 2.0 being FaceBook, YouTube, Myspace and others, seems to posess a teen-glow, well, the governments doesn’t spend time with emerging technologies before having been proven great succeses. Nicholas Carr urged organizations to “follow don’t lead” and announced the there is no link between great it-spendings and huge revenues.
Well I’ll argue that its time for the governments to wake up to the reality of web 2.0, which can provide powerfull and cheap tools for a technology-craving governments with the declining size in population.
The paper has been submitted to a few conferences this spring/summer ‘08.
