Study: Web 2.0 as a competitive maneuver

A recent survey of CIOs by Forrester Research found that many large companies are using one or more Web 2.0 technologies such as blogs, wikis, podcasts, RSS, social networking and content tagging.

Many CIOs noted that they accepted the use of these tools because they were afraid that their companies would lose market share if they didn't keep up with their competitors' use of the technologies.

But with time, the report noted that all of these tools will make even greater headway into the enterprise.
