This document discusses the concept of Enterprise 2.0 and how organizations can leverage social software tools to address information management problems and tap into employees' knowledge and expertise. It describes how the cost of communicating and organizing has collapsed due to technologies that allow anyone to reach a global audience and create and distribute content at little to no cost. The document advocates that companies embrace principles from the social web by empowering knowledge workers to connect, share, create and broadcast using tools like wikis, blogs, microblogging and more. It provides an example of how a group collaboratively worked on a project using these types of tools.
