I saw this on one of my reviews/blogs/e-mails (I don’t remember just where anymore…)

The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, and the MIT Sloan School of Management, and Person Education, a leading educational publisher, have invited millions of experts and others to collaborate online on a book about Web 2.0.

Web 2.0 refers to the next generation of the Internet, which allows communities to share ideas, experiences, music, videos, pictures, and other digital information online. The book will examine how Web 2.0 technologies, like wikis, blogs, and social networks, and the communities that use them, will change the future rules of business.

Entitled We Are Smarter than Me, the book will be written and edited online in a collaborative process similar to that employed by Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. This “networked” book collaboration will allow all registered members of the community to edit, add, and delete content from the website.

The website www.wearesmarter.org combines collaborative tools commonly found on wikis with features for building online communities in which businesses can participate.

The We are Smarter than Me initiative was launched November 16. Within a few days, 1,000 participants had been registered and 40 related blogs had been launched. More than a million business school students, professors and alumni, as well as working professionals are being invited to participate.
