I was finishing up some work at home tonight and got a skype message from Jan Wyllie, who publishes Trend Monitor.

Jan has done some extremely interesting work analyzing consumer trends over the last ten or more years. He is in the process of writing a new report on the impact of Web 2.0 on business. And I have no doubt that this is going to be a pretty interesting report.

Here is part of his blog that points to where he is going this time round. Should be worth watching.

As Web 2.0 platforms migrate from the open internet enthusiasts to the worlds of business and government, the issue of information management will become a company-wide problem, rather than the problem which information professionals and taxonomists are paid to solve. Everyone will start tagging and chaos is liable to result.
