Collaboration
A number of key collaboration technologies designed to improve productivity and ultimately transform business practices are identified in the Hype Cycle:

• Podcasting. Podcasting offers a way to 'subscribe' to radio programmes and have them delivered to your PC. Gartner predicts that podcasting subscriptions will grow increasingly important as the market for content continues to fragment, which will lead to a massive shift in radio, and ultimately TV content delivery. Podcasting is an extremely efficient method for delivering audio and spoken-word content to niche audiences and as such could become an important corporate communications tool.
  
  
• Peer to Peer (P2P) voice over IP (VoIP). Vendor-proprietary P2P VoIP applications are under development although security concerns still need to be addressed. Services like Skype currently enjoy significant consumer adoption and are beginning to make inroads into the business landscape. Gartner predicts that the technology will be important for collaborative and multimedia applications as well as low-cost communications.
  
  
• Desktop Search. Also known as personal knowledge search, this is an individual productivity application, residing on the desktop and using local processing power to provide search-and-retrieve functionality for the desktop resident's local e-mail, data store and documents. Google, Microsoft and Yahoo are competing for customer attention, adding to the hype but customers not exhibiting much interest in buying solutions. However desktop search will become a standard feature in Microsoft Longhorn, currently planned for 2006 and should reduce content recreation, increase content reuse whilst raising productivity.
  
  
• Really Simple Syndication (RSS). RSS is a simple data format that enables web sites to inform subscribers of new content and distribute content more efficiently by bypassing the browser via RSS reader software. RSS is widely used for syndicating weblog content but its corporate use is only starting to be tapped for activities such as corporate messaging. Its simplicity makes it easy to implement and add to established software systems. Gartner predicts that RSS will be most useful for content that is 'nice to know' rather than 'need to know'.
  
  
• Corporate Blogging. This involves the use of online personal journals by corporate employees, either individually or in a group, to further company goals. It reached the peak of hype in 2004 although mainstream firms have not yet got involved. Its impact will be on projecting corporate marketing messages primarily and secondarily in competitive intelligence, customer support and recruiting.
  
  
• Wikis. A simple, text-based collaborative system for managing hyperlinked collections of web pages; it usually enables users to change pages or comments created by other users. Wikis are becoming available from commercial vendors, in addition to many open-sourced products, but not yet from established enterprise vendors. However, they are widely used as collaborative, distributed authoring systems for online communities, especially those using open-source projects. Gartner predicts that Wikis will impact ad hoc collaboration, group authoring, content management, web site management, innovation, project execution and research and development.
