While he is, of course, evangelizing in support of Tacit’s illumio product, the concept behind the technology is to bring together the multiple components of Enterprise 2.0 - RSS aggregation, attention management, and social networking - to help companies leverage web 2.0 technologies to collaborate and innovate. Here’s a podcast where you can hear more about his approach and philosophy: http://www.podtech.net/home/3587/lunchmeet-illumio-delivers-answers-intelligently I nominate David Gilmour, founder and CEO of Tacit Software.

He is one of the few people advancing the message that "enterprise 2.0" isn't a name for a market, rather a term that describes the transition to our yet-to-be-agreed-upon market name (think customer service 2.0 vs. Customer Relationship Management). I also see him <a href="http://terraminds.com/twitter/query?query=%40samlawrence&submit=search+in+updates" title="List of Tweets directed at Sam Lawrence" rel="nofollow">actively engaged with all of the influencers</a> in this space and they consistently have praised his thinking. He has been an invited speaker at nearly all conferences relevant to enterprise social computing (most of which <a href="http://gobigalways.com/speaking/" title="Sam Lawrence's speaking videos" rel="nofollow">he has videos of on his blog</a>).

I have provided Internet development and consulting services to large enterprises since the beginning of this whole Internet deal. And two years ago, when I needed a .NET based blog and forum solution, I found Telligent and Community Server. In October of last year I became the first Telligent Director of Marketing. Rob Howard and the group that is now the Telligent management team deployed Community Server v.1 in 2004. It was truly an innovative product then and has since become the rock-solid, battle-tested, proven enterprise social networking platform. The blue chip list of Community Server deployments will blow you away. As the old saying goes, Community Server was enterprise social networking before enterprise social networking was cool. Rob Howard was then and is today an innovator in the enterprise space. 4 years is a long time in the history of social networking, but the next 4 years should be even more incredible. I am thrilled to be working with Rob and to be a small part of his vision and the brilliant team he has assembled. I have to nominate Rob Howard, the founder and CEO of Telligent, for your list.
