Carl,

Looking at it purely from a knowledge worker perspective, perhaps the current generation of college graduates who have been born and brought up with computers and internet would truly leverage Web 2.0. In fact, they would even demand it. How they will leverage this depends on the tools they are provided and the freedom they are afforded. If the process of mashing up an application, combining information the way one would want it is not easy, they will give up.

At a certain level, I would equate it to excel and macros. Lots of folks use excel to improve their productivity. However, how many of them actually develop macros in excel to increase their productivity? Even if they used macros it was probably developed by someone else. If the process of creating/updating a macro was easy and did not involve “programming” perhaps it would be used more. I believe the same applies to mash-ups.
