Wikis with suits

Wikis are going corporate this year in a big way, Forrester Research predicts.

The company predicts in a recent research report that businesses will rapidly pick up adoption of wiki technology to help employees collaborate more effectively.

Forrester says companies such as IBM and Microsoft are already making use of wikis, but doesn’t identify any metro Atlanta companies making use of the tools.

Blogfest

Local bloggers will disconnect from the Web, however painful that might be, and gather in Cobb County next month for a conference on new media.

“SoCon07” is scheduled for Feb. 9-10 at Kennesaw State University.

According to a press release for the event, the conference aims to “bring together bloggers, new media pros, academics and people from across the spectrum of marketing, public relations, human resources and the executive ranks to discuss new media.”

So far, they’ve lined up an interesting group of speakers, including Atlanta’s own Chris Klaus, the whiz-kid founder of Internet Security Systems, who’s now working on launching his own version of a virtual world.
