The E2.0 toolset is clearly evolving. It’s now reached the point where many of the underlying technologies are well understood. So we’ve now set the stage for revolutionary changes in corporate culture and governance.

The whole E2.0 evolution-revolution discussion may seem like a bunch of pundits arguing about some buzzwords (and to a degree it is), but at the core it’s about the severity of the change we’re witnessing. That change is definitely revolutionary in its nature, since it completely changes the rules by which society and business operate. But as you point it out, what makes it revolutionary is how people use the technologies. Light bulb was a revolutionary technology that led to equally revolutionary changes. Social technologies are a product of evolution, but the behaviors they have enabled and triggered are nothing short of revolutionary.
