CIOs Seem to Like Some Web 2.0 Tools
by Joe McKendrick
CIO Insight just published a survey of 150 CIOs, asking which Web 2.0 tools they personally use in their work.
Around half of the group say they use Web video, blogs, and wikis. It’s good to know that many of the people that sign off on new projects and budgets at least have some hands-on experiences with new approaches.
Here’s a rundown on what they personally use. Note that only 11% said “none of the above.” It must be strange to work in a company in which the CIO doesn’t touch any technology.
Video over the Web — 54%
Wikis — 49%
Blogs — 48%
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) — 47%
Podcasts — 39%
Social networking (e.g., tagging, social bookmarks, community sites such as del.icio.us, LinkedIn, Technorati) — 33%
Expertise location and sharing — 21%
Mashups — 13%
Virtual worlds (e.g., Second Life) — 12%
Instant mobile updates (e.g., Twitter) — 11%
None of the above — 11%
