EDITOR'S NOTE

Good morning,

It seems Westpac are pulling back on some web 2.0 projects such as their Second Life presence - though it appears not for the usual reasons.

Some of the projects are simply redundant - like a desktop video project to bring people together. Westpac has since consolidated its offices, negating the original problem.

The positive is that Westpac has also been candid with the lessons they learned. Have a read and let us know how web 2.0 is tracking in your organisation.
