Gartner’s 2006 Emerging Technologies Hype Cycle

Ajax, Social Network Analysis, Collective Intelligence and Mashups feature in Gartner's Emerging Technology Hype Cycle. The interesting bit is of collective intelligence:

"Collective intelligence, rated as transformational (definition: enables new ways of doing business across industries that will result in major shifts in industry dynamics) is expected to reach mainstream adoption in five to ten years. Collective intelligence is an approach to producing intellectual content (such as code, documents, indexing and decisions) that results from individuals working together with no centralized authority. This is seen as a more cost-efficient way of producing content, metadata, software and certain services."
