BSCW (basic support for collaborative work) has also offered this functionality for "free" since about 1996...... Moodle - and OpenSource project - is very popular. Even Lotus Notes had its fans as a collaborative system. Education and research community apps that fill these niches have been around for some time:

Surely only a matter of time before someone does something similar in the West. bubblegen/ umair points to Megastudy in Korea as an example of what to expect as 2.0 moves into other areas.

James - you are right, 'enterprise2.0' is also interesting, although I'm not sure how quickly the verticals you mention will adopt social software and all that comes with it. I'm definitely on the look out for startups in this space though, and www.huddle.net is one of my favourites here in the UK. Paul - I also agree with you. In the post I focused on the value to consumers - entertainment, but the technology drivers are networks, devices and the new ability to make services social. All very exciting. Thanks guys.
