Once again, it’s time for a weekly(ish) tour of a few of the interesting places wikinomics is popping up in the blogosphere. Without further ado, here’s a sample from the last few days…

Enterprise 2.0 in our firm – “Jimmy the new age worker” discusses how his accounting firm can use “readily available tools and services right away to improve employee morale, effectiveness and company competitiveness”… very interesting discussion.

Prosumption and a pocketful of kryptonite – A very articulate posting related to Second Life, of interest to the author in relation to developing nations and free culture.

Government 2.0 arrives in Ottawa! – Mike Kujawski’s blog offering “insights on government, association and non-profit marketing in the web 2.0 world”, discussing this year’s GTEC conference coming up in October. Shamless plug – I’m doing the keynote October 16th… this is going to be a great event.

Who has the reigns? - described as “Jessica’s weblog exploring interactive communications”, here she ties a series of book reviews (wikinomics, sociable media, wealth of networks) into her own personal experiences

This Wikinomics thing is really taking off – links to a discussion about the latest TechCrunch event, and is posted by Martin Hardee within the Sun.com blogs. If you do a search on this site, you may find a couple of posts I’ve done about other Sun employees who blog regularly… like the CEO.

Wiki Time – quoting the conclusion (author Tim McCall): Through Wikipedia and becoming a creator as opposed to always being a viewer was rewarding and helped me have a better understanding of how far Wikinomics can go.

Ashley Cheng Abstract – post by a student doing a class paper on wikis (particular focus on their use in relation to corporate transparency), tied to many of the wikinomics concepts.

Wikinomics and Small Business- An interesting small business focused blog entry detailing how a New Haven soda maker is using the web to expand their market.

Emergent Business Networks – The Real Enterprise 2.0 Story - a new blogger’s take on the key elements of the platform, and what markets it will happen in.

Ramblings of a Graduate Student - (quote): How will the elite of the future be identified and offered a $400,000.00 chance at an Ivy League education?  If wikinomics, to borrow the term from the Tapscott and Williams article, is really the new way in which people are to participate in the economy, why shouldn’t the idea that universities will make their databases open to the public be considered? 

I work with strangers – commentary on the Web 2.0, mediated vs. non-mediated communications, new business and productions models, etc.

Mass collaboration : book vs. street vs. process – a commentary in relation to the types of learning and what is better for society.
