They mention Eli Lilly and Co. and the edits to that page on Wikipedia, but what I can imagine is companies having to figure out what to do with an entire wiki dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry or even to  Eli Lilly and Co. itself.  This forces transparency.  This forces companies to change the way the operate their business.  (for example see what [[SourceWatch]] is doing in terms of think tanks and the like.)  Of course this all centers on the idea that people will embrace the simplistic self organization of wiki, which I excited to see.  (see [http://recentchanges.info/?p=78 Why wiki is good for work])

Sunday's [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/18/fashion/sundaystyles/18ze.html New York Times] describes the results."  via [http://slashdot.org/articles/06/06/19/1718219.shtml Slashdot]''
Ze Frank is getting more popular, and one of the tricks in his bag is a wiki that he is encouraging folks to help write the daily 3 minute video weblog show.  Very fun.  After the first script was written by many, many folks fighting to have what they thought funny be on the front of the script, it was like writing by committee.  I suggested they think about the wiki in a different way, and [http://www.zefrank.com/wiki/index.php/Talk:Fabuloso_Friday/The_Script#no_need_to_focus_on_one_version.2C_with_wiki_there_could_be_many_versions reconsider focusing on the main page].
