I’m in enterprise software... • Email: Last technology driven from the top down; • Collaboration Software: Since email has been driven by the bottom up (think consumer IM, Blogs, Wiki, etc.) 3. I’m not directly in tech... • If you don’t know where the puck is going. You’re probably going to get pucked by someone who does. (cc)by-nc-sa - albert lai - simplyalbert.blogspot.com - 10/2007
