The
single most credible survey I’ve found to date confirms what I’ve been saying
for some time: Web 2.0 is still a lot of hype, and not a priority for many.
A Robert
Half Technology survey of 1,400 CIOs in the
• 14% of
organizations use blogs
• 13% use social tagging software
• 11% use wikis
Meanwhile,
more traditional technologies are far more popular:
• Online
training is used by 47% of the organizations
• Video conferencing is used by 34%
• Collaborative workspaces (e.g. SharePoint) is used by 24%
Now here’s
the killer: 72% of CIOs have no plans to use blogs in the next 5 years; 74% no
plans to use wikis (a scientifically representative telephone survey of 1400
CIOs, not a self-select, voluntary web survey).

2.0 not a priority for CIOs
