Many of the disciplines experimented with during KM projects will be vital to the role/process of pruning, shaping, harvesting, etc the emergent menagerie.

What happens to the old KMS? Do they need to be abandoned? Or is social computing just a face-lift with some new features? However, I also wonder if the actual world crisis influences the decision of adapting or dying? It is no surprise that generally a crisis makes people/companies review their situation and introduce fundamental changes. Is social computing eventually a winner of the economic crisis or will it (similar to KM) experience death to some extent?
