I love his postscript: "I debated whether or not to use the term "Web 2.0," which has fallen out of favor among the cognoscenti ... blogs in eLearning? That's a big question. But I also think its the wrong question. I don't think we can push the use of blogs on our users in the same way that we push eLearning solutions.

I appreciate that Jay is able to succinctly articulate their business value, especially because many people still don’t take these tools seriously. Click below to view the table: ...
