I find processes of technology adoption pretty interesting and I get all aflutter when I see a burst of new users in the
Web 2.0 space. E-learning blogger
Tony Karrer has a nice summary, link list and analysis of a recent discussion around an off-site article titled Enterprise 2.0: The Dawn of Emergent Collaboration.
The basic idea is that social web tools will replace many of the clunky old tools for enterprise Knowledge
Management. I like it. But my favorite line is this one (unclear to me if these are Karrer's own words or
not)
Adoption Rate = Perceived Usefulness (PU) * Perceive Ease of Use (PEOU)
That's something to
chew on. Mathematically limited by the fact that both factors on the right have to be positive numbers perhaps,
but one way to put it. Many other links in Karrer's post for discussion of this as well.

1. Marshall,
Cool to be linked by you - being a regular reader of your material. However, I'm going to have to figure out what content I'm getting of yours, because it doesn't seem to come from this site?
Take Care,
Tony
