Yes, unlike my other post, this is a post beating up large vendors for lack of innovation. Actually a link to the dump on IBM by Ross Mayfield, usually a mild-mannered entrepreneur.
While that irritated me, I was even more annoyed to read this Forrester analysis "The enterprise Web 2.0 market is beginning to consolidate, and the 119 CIOs who Forrester recently surveyed couldn't be happier. They report a strong desire to purchase Web 2.0 technologies — blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS, social networking, and content tagging — as a suite, as well as an equally strong desire to purchase these technologies from large, incumbent software vendors."
Sure, buy from the big guys, spend 20X more on it and call it "innovation". The only good news - you will call my firm a few years from now, and have us beat them down.
