Ooops, the deadline has passed on my “contest,” and I have to declare a tie between my only two commenters (!) Meghan and Jenny. Email me backchannel, and I’ll send off tee shirts.

I must say, however, that I wasn’t looking for examples of “pundit redundancy” — i.e. as both J and M pointe too — there’s *never* a problem finding that! But, rather, I want to know from enterprise practitioners how the redundancy of ideas powers enterprise work.

I can tell that I’m going to have to think this through a little more clearly on my own, and express it in a way that engages you. Look for more posts on redundancy soon.

In response to Meghan. Indeed if we are thinking about the same post FAST Forward Conference conversation about Enterprise 2.0 tips, (that started with Jevon McDonald), it was wide reaching and complete.

At the same time I wondered if the exchanges had been taken to a wiki whether the efforts committed to blogging individual posts on the subject may have generated a very valuable Enterprise 2.0 Adoption Guide.

I’d say the best example would have to be the “Thoughts on Enterprise 2.0 Adoption” circle of blogs than ran the races in January and February; bloggers everyewhere, from Collaboration Loop to FASTforward and back to ZDnet were blogging on this and reblogging. The theories, concerns, mishaps and hang-ups of the all elusive Enterprise 2.0 adoption wins the idea redundancy award for me.

Tom, Great meeting you in San Diego and becoming acquainted with ConnectBeam. See from your post I’ve missed a lot here. Will have to consider “redundancy” but struck by your dislike of the word “CONTENT” as I just blogged about a Michael Eisner CNBC interview yesterday that ends with his belief in yes, “CONTENT”.

So you prefer? Also heard Meg Whitman in a CNBC interview this morning (after releasing their results yesterday) state eBay’s business benefits from 98% of their “CONTENT being USER GENERATED. Also means when eBay enters a new market the “CONTENT” immediately reflects the culture in which they are operating.

Interested in your take. Regards.
