The Numbers Lie
Writing drew a huge crowd, but the emerging topic on the use of wikis in internal comms was sparsely attended. That's a shame. It reminds me of the days when people glazed over at the prospect of an intranet (back when they were still trying to figure out the Internet). And I really show my age when I admit that I remember when people asked "is that the bleeping Internet" while looking at PowerPoint of the old Compuserve discussion forums.Matthew Podboy (son of iPod?) seemed to take it in stride, noting that wiki adoption by employees will be organic. Expect sporadic growth for now.
In other words, the topic people missed today will be hot tomorrow. Attendance doesn't tell the whole story. This topic is important, and the numbers lie.
Unconvinced? Check out this article. Or this, from Dan Forbush.
P.S. there was a typo is the last post, ironically, on the topic of writing! Such is the humiliation of a live blogger.
