“47% use it primarily for file sharing” – so, why don’t you talk about the (larger) 53%? 🙂 SharePoint can do a lot of things, and it’s a big world out there. Some people aren’t happy because there are other products that do a (much) better job in certain areas (like blogs, wikis, forums, etc.). Well, that’s like buying a big (older) house and complaining about one of the bathrooms or the kitchen being not as nice as the one in a much smaller but newer condo.
SharePoint has gaps, worts, and shortcomings. I know them well, and you seem to have rehashed much of what others had already written about during the past 2 years. So, instead of continuing to complain about SharePoint not being E2.0 this or not, can you please write more about successful E2.0 implementations? Are there any? Did it have a measurable impact on the company? Let’s move forward, not backward.
