You should also check out Gist (www.gist.com) as a product that organizes and aggregates for an individual. It works with Outlook as well as Gmail and any other web-based information source (LinkedIn, etc.) combining your contacts with news about them.

This is a good point about the growth of multiple channels inside the enterprise. Wikis, blogs, microsblogging, forums, video apps, etc. The irony of enterprise 2.0 is that while it breaks down organizational silos, it creates a whole new set of information silos. WordPress doesn’t talk to Confluence doesn’t talk to Yammer doesn’t talk to…

Tie the stream of data from these apps together, and you get three benefits:

1. Better information reach through search, serendipity and filters
2. A dynamic skills database, with updates in real-time as people do work
3. Strengthen and diversify of employees’ social networks, improving decision making
