Subconsciously into Web 2.0

Have you ever read the book "Blink - The power of thinking without thinking"? The book talks about our mind making decisions subconciously.

I have been using Gmail and Hotmail for a long time but while my Gmail account is nearing the full capacity, my Hotmail is barely 10% filled. While you can said that I am using Gmail as my main email account, but why is that so? I did not realized this until recently. The response time is Google is much faster so I ended up giving more and more people this email address.

I realized this when I tried out our company wiki at another office. The response time was much slower than my office. And because that was the speed that the users at the other office have been encountering, they just accept it as something normal. If I have been using the wiki at that speed, I doubt I will adopted the Wiki in my work as much as what I am doing now. I am now trying to address that issue.

It is important for web applications to have fast response time in order to win over disk-based applications. That's why Ajax is an important component for Web 2.0. Therefore a good infrastructure is an important part in adopting enterprise 2.0.
