Web 2.0 confuses IT gurus

What constitutes Web 2.0? Well a survey shows that majority of IT professionals do not seem to have a definite answer. Only 17% of the 1,300 Information Technology managers across 10 countries surveyed correctly identified all the items on the survey that can be considered Web 2.0.

Blogs, micro blogs and social networking sites were correctly identified but other web portals like iGoogle and Wikipedia were less frequently identified. Only half of the respondents identified video uploading sites like You Tube as being Web 2.0. The reports articulates that although 95 percent of businesses allow access to Web 2.0 in the workplace, only 9 percent have adequate protection from Web 2.0 threats.
