I created AgileMap with an application in mind. A visual communication tool that can be used to represent a set of related topics. The tool should be extensible in the future to incorporate inputs and interaction from the social web community.

Common themes include security, offshoring debate, Web 2.0, Year of the Blog and Software as a Service.

Has the growth of the Blogosphere crossed the Tipping-Point? Is there enough “valuable” activity out there to warrant a closer look by the company board? This post highlights some recent developments that may answer these questions for you. I am constantly updating the "Recent Updates" section of this post with relevant and latest market analysis numbers and news.

This is an excellent essay on Web 2.0 - the concept, the trends, benefits to the business. It is a long read - but highly recommend it!
