Matt is back from a whole week of Enterprise 2.0, his thoughtful, introspective comments will make us all go running for the iPhone 2.0, which was also announced this week at Apple’s WorldWide Developers Conference. But that’s not the coolest announcement, Michael and Michael fawn over Mobile.Me – even if the name is a bit daft. QIK shows off Qik video for the iPhone, and listener Bill Sweeney gives us 5 reasons not to buy the new iPhone.

Hey, Matt! Thanks for the namedrop and generous assessment. It was very cool to meet you at E2.0.
As to the other guys’ thoughts on Kool-Aid and evangelism, I get you. My focus is on getting organisations and people understanding how to communicate properly – across departmental boundaries, between people and up and down the org chart.
I want my clients, as much as possible, to break down blocks to sharing and communicating with each other. If they use a wiki or a blog, or Connections, Sharepoint or Clearspace, or even 3×5 index cards, I don’t much care. So long as they get better internal communications and sharing and then extend it to communicating with their clients and stakeholders outside when they’re ready for that step.
Sure, *I’ve* drunk the Kool-Aid, but it’s up to me to convince my clients that there are real benefits in moves like this for them. That can be hard, and the best metrics are pretty soft – no dollar terms, rather things like ease of finding the info or person you need to answer a question and whether that’s faster now than it was before we made changes. C-levels can struggle with that, but when they get a steady stream of people hanging on their office door saying stuff is better than before, the value gets proved.
I’d love to talk more about it with you some time.
Stephen — thank you for the thoughtful post! It is easy to be exhuberant (perhaps even irrationally so) when talking about the next technology wave. You capture the spirit around collaboration very well — the technology is a means to the end of getting to the right person/answer in a frictionless way.
I’m kind of jealous of Matt attending the E2.0 conference in person. Following the Tweets isn’t quite the same experience.
Thanks again for your comments. Guess we may have doubled our listeners this week, knowing you dialed us in.

I was having some trouble skipping through this week’s show, but did you mention a site called Sweet with two T’s? I don’t see it on the links above, though…
The site is http://sweettt.com thanks for the reminder.
We’ve had some people report that this week’s show is coming in at over 2 hours. Please drop us a note at dogearnation@gmail.com if you are experiencing this problem.
Ah, THREE T’s, I tried 1 and 2, but three worked, thanks.
Hi Michael… actually the last two episodes showed up with really odd timings in iTunes and on my iPod… 1.5 and 2 hours respectively even though they were “normal” length. It’s weird.
By the way, the audio quality is so much better now… and I’m glad you shortened the intro piece, it works better shorter.

I tried downloading this episode and …. I got it!
Excellent One of the best episodes thus far both content and sound-wise. Keep up the good work (and I’ll try and catch up – just in time for the next show I guess).
