plus, yes, cloud, SAAS, Virtual, but leverage is abused.

Their mere existence relies upon their “solutions” for this and that. In fact, they solve practically every problem from compliance, to “green”, to best practices, to user-friendly, right?. What would we do without all their “value-add”?

If IT was only that simple!

I hate it when a product is called a “solution.” Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Just call it a product.

Web 2.0 is also noteable, but maybe I just didn’t “hear” it as much this year as those above.

What about old standards like “granularity” and “tipping point”?

“Social networking” tools.

I’d certainly cast a vote for “Web 2.0″.
