International business adoption of Web 2.0 technology
Building on yesterday’s post about Web 2.0 technology adoption in businesses, some more data on business intentions for the technology. From the table excerpted below, it’s hard to tell whether adoption has reached a peak - with a sizable proportion reluctant to invest in anything but “web services” or “peer-to-peer networking” - or whether technologies like podcasts and wikis are about to tip over into popularity.
There’s much more information available at McKinsey’s “How businesses are using Web 2.0: A McKinsey Global Survey” - including how many respondents plan to bring in these technologies, broken down by region and continent.
Once again, I see similarities between these corporate results and government intentions. (my observations are completely unsupported by data, by the way)

I’m surprised to see those last three so unfavorable. I feel they’re underrated and their true potential hasn’t been realized yet.
