A few web 2.0 resources

A few (unrelated) resources on web 2.0:

Microsoft and web 2.0 resources (via Stephen Downes) I’m not sure how Microsoft defines web 2.0 – not much in the list that fits my definition. However, still a number of useful resources. The distance between Microsoft and Google is quite evident in participative/collaborative tools. Google is the web 2.0 poster child (have a quick look at their labs). I think Google needs a strong competitor. Microsoft has had trouble playing that role so far…

IBM & Web 2.0 – a number of videos, websites, whitepapers, etc. on how IBM uses web 2.0. Adoption of emerging technologies for collaborating and organizational productivity (interesting to note that learning is not an explicit focus) is growing.
