I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to the way new generations seek feedback on their ideas. Rigid communication channels frustrate us. We want to be heard. Great information, David.

I've recently become involved in the steering committee for a group called the Enterprise 2.0 Society. Part of our mission is to help educate companies on the impact of the changing expectations of the gen-y and younger populations within their companies. This is just the tip of the iceberg as the cultural foundation of every emerging college grad is radically different from any previous generation. How does an old-school enterprise, built upon top-down policy and rigid communication channels (anyone remember inter-office memos?) learn to digest the modern knowledge worker, and the whorl of free form communication networks she/he has in tow? The benefits in productivity and nimble response can be enormous, but the trust hurdles are huge for the incumbent organizations and there are some legitimate issues to be discussed on the ethics and security issues of protecting corporate information in an age where information is no longer disposable. FYI - there is a conference coming up in Atlanta in February that will be discussing some of these issues: http://socon08.com/ Adam, another great post.

Another thing to keep in mind is the rate at which information is doubling. You should check out more on the Digital divide ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_divide ) Thanks for stopping by.

I'll definitely have to keep an eye on your blog. I truly agree that we are in the midst of some major changes in the way that companies and the individuals that work within them connect, strive, and thrive. It is remarkable how instant, disposable and always-on everything is becoming. If you've some time, check out my blog 'Naden's Corner' at www.dannaden.com. Keep up the great work. Dan N. Adam,
