"technology executives are probably more concerned about the risk Web 2.0 tools pose to security and, yes, productivity, than the benefits of them." And to add on to the point, technology executives can often find themselves taking responsibility for things that frankly aren't in their ambit. n nIt's not the CTO's or CIO's job to make CONTENT decisions about tools which are communications-based. And I think they do in the case of social media. Would the CTO decide that having phones on desks was just too tempting to people that might want to call their mom or spouse? Mmmm, no. But there's no hesitancy to veto (or try to) blogging, networks, etc. n nThere's a difference between the guy who maintains the pipes and the people who manage the water supply. And sometimes we need to fight to ensure the water supply is OURS. You have it bang on, Christie.
