R/WW is so good I unsubscribed from TechCrunch. 'Nough said.
Anyway they have this very nice post on the fear most companies have of the web 2.0.
MacManus rightfully observes that "The real reason why IT fears web 2.0 [...] is that it upsets the historical need for control and power in IT departments".
Still I guess that that same conclusion could be valid for other functions of the corporate life. Openness and collaboration, fostered by the new tools easily reachable on the web, are constantly diluting the power and control companies were confortable with in the past.
Maybe I just plain stupid but I see between the lines the typical resistance old Powers have against the revolution. Is this going to change the balance between corporate world and private citizens (in other words, our society)? Well I don't know. If you wanted answers you should have visited wikipedia :)
