The readership likely skews somewhat younger than the general public (if older than the most web-savvy segment). Answers matter. We only now started circing Blu-ray due to public cautions the last three years. I ask the public through my weekly web-posting (the lead on our website).

It's about time we talked about productivity as it relates to Web 2.0. Sometimes "work" means doing the mundane things that keep the machine running, even though its not fun. The only caveat here, of course, is that sometimes the benefits are not lost once consumed (like the latte) but instead involve a growth factor that will make people more productive in the long run. The risk is that you have a whole lot of potential power, but none of it is put into action because we are too busy learning. Balance is always good. I think its important to admit that in a Web 2.0 world, balancing learning with elbow grease is extremely difficult. Hallelujah! It’s about time we talked about productivity as it relates to Web 2.0.
