SearchSMB.com has a nice article on Web 2.0 technologies, and what CIO's want from their vendors. While using data from a Forrester Research study (119 CIO's of companies over 500 employees), the author of the report, Oliver Young, had this quote (emphasis, mine):
Seventy-one percent said they would be more interested in Web 2.0 technology if they could buy it from major vendors such as Microsoft or IBM. And 74% said they would be more interested in Web 2.0 technology if they could acquire it as a software suite.
Young said major vendors are starting to offer Web 2.0 suites. For example, IBM's latest upgrade of Lotus Notes includes several Web 2.0 components integrated into its collaboration platform.
"It's the best-looking suite out there for Web 2.0," Young said. He added that Microsoft's Sharepoint product also features the beginnings of a Web 2.0 suite.
These CIO's want one vendor, with tightly integrated Web 2.0, that are "fast and agile" and that can be "deployed quickly and easily."
Very nice to see that Lotus Notes has "...the best-looking suite out there for Web 2.0." Couple the out-of-the-box functionality of Notes/Domino with some excellent templates from OpenNTF, and you are ready to leverage Web 2.0 in your Domino environment.
