Here is the main source for my MySpace comment. I should have linked to it. http://www.startup-review.com/blog/myspace-case-study-not-a-purely-viral-start.php It is an interesting site that has a number of web success cases. Letting the users set the requirements as always been a major success factor in enterprise KM implementations, at least the ones I know about. With rapid iternations in web 2.0, commercial web ventures can do the same thing. The failures in both cases are more likely to come from top down, here is what is good for you, efforts. It seems like common sense and the idea is usually on most best practices, but as Jenny said, it is not easy. Thanks to both Euan and Jenny for your comments.

As for your MySpace observation. It seems to me the notion of managing for "emergence" to which Euan has alluded in describing their practice at the BBC, and that Andrew McAfee talks about in his ant colony post, is a REALLY hard mindset change for people and organizations to make as they strive to utilize social media. http://blog.hbs.edu/faculty/amcafee/index.php/faculty_amcafee_v3/the_mechanisms_of_online_emergence/ Bill, Missed you at the San Diego conference but thanks for keeping us alert to the best of the web and interesting insights here starting with the video.

That was pretty much what we did with out tools at the BBC. Keep it simple until you see hat people start to do with them. Interesting point about MySpace Bill.
