Gartner Emerging Tech Hype 2006

This is way old news, but I just got around to checking it today, so it's new to me.

Gartner's 2006 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle Highlights Key Technology Themes

They are all about Web 2.0 and something-driven architecture.
If you want to see the actual chart, there are copies at Geospatial Semantic Web Blog.

There's some thoughtful words about Enterprise 2.0 at EarlyStageVC (via Infectious Greed)

Enterprises have two core attributes that do not exist as widely in the public web -- purpose and accountability.   So 'empowerment' and 'collective intelligence'  are not end points.  Nor are 'discovery,' 'networking,' nor 'sharing.'   These are embedded in processes and are methods for creating context to purposeful transactions.

...

only a tiny community of developers have built Web 2.0 apps using AJAX, ROR, or LAMP.  It is really just a few thousand people -- and very few work in large enterprises or ever will, again.   So how will the Enterprise 2.0 apps get built?  I doubt it is from a startup like Jotspot who has no business process expertise nor business data management expertise.  I doubt it is Oracle or SAP who pride themselves on selling Sherman Tanks as radiation-hardened compact cars. The users will build Enterprise 2.0 apps, not the vendors.

The question is who will "get it" first?
