Step up and move forward

You know about blogs, right? Hey, you're reading one. What about Wikis? Well, maybe not so much.

Below you will find a link to a presentation by Chris Rasmussen of the NGA. It's about how the American Imtelligence community is using a wiki, rss,tagging and, dare we say it, living the Web 2.0. Rasmussen's presentation is direct and honest. The positives and the pitfalls are there. These could be the words that inspire you to move your organization forward and, perhaps, streamline some processes at the same time.

Thanks to All News, All about Intellipedia for the heads up.

Kudos to Federal Computer Weekly for posting this presentation. Here it is.
