Is Enterprise 2.0 a trend? Are people becoming more aware of it? Is this ‘Buzz Word’ being adopted? These are some of the questions I’m asking myself today and similarly these are some of the challenges Enterprise 2.0 are facing (adoption, uptake, etc).
Firstly, where I can I’ve tried to take away results relating to the Star Trek Enterprise, so if you wondering why you see those in graphs…. there you go. So lest take a look at blog posts referring to Enterprise 2 compared to “web 2 on Technorati.
So from the data above it is clear that Web 2.0 has much stronger roots in the ground, as this concept or buzz word was brought along much earlier on than Enterprise 2.0 was, but what I’ve found interesting is the downwards slop in Web 2.0? Why is this? Is this because there is a general acceptance to the term web 2.0? Perhaps instead of labeling a site, product or tool as being web 2.0 we just accept it for what is and call it by its name? With a somewhat large mention of around 10,000 posts daily with the mention of Web 2.0 I would hardly say its dieing.
Looking at Enterprise 2.0, the first thing I noticed was the lack of interest in the term. With numbers that low and with around 60 people studying Enterprise 2.0 at QUT at the moment, I wonder if the students in their weekly blog posts are effecting the graph? So is Enterprise 2.0 such a strange concept to everyone? Is it a buzz word that hasn’t been as widely accepted as the previous web 2.0?
So there has to be more going on behind all this and I’ve found since 2007 the web 2.0 buzz word peaked and has been going down ever since – Read Write Web
Enter Web 3.0 ! Now this closely aligns with the Enterprise 2.0, along with the ‘Micro blogging’ trend which you can see below:

Interesting graphs you have formulated there. I think web 2.0 is slowly losing its appeal simply because there was so much hype about it when it was first labeled people are just sick of the term.
As for web 3.0, I really hope they come up with a different name…
Thanks for the interesting research,
