Thanks for the feedback.

I am glad Laura you are enjoying this post series. I have really tried to tackle them differently from the way others are writing about Web 2.0.

Kate actually it was your audio that convinced me that for some people you do really need to encourage them to play with the tools. I have always seen them as getting real work done. And definitely about sharping the tools and using them well.

Getting colleagues to accept the notion of digital technology creating exciting, valuable TOOLS for their work is the key to facilitating take up. That and getting them to ‘play in the sandbox’ (nice analogy used in some wikis for the importance of this playing and trying out of stuff).

When I was a kid I would watch dad working round the place. He used to impress on me the importance of choosing the right tool for any job. He used his very well and always kept them well maintained. It’s a life lesson I’ve never forgotten.
