Sounds like Bernstein doesn't really like this book, but doesn't have any alternative to recommend.

I find Markspeak a little hard to interpret. He might like some of the book, what he doesn't like is the lack of rigor. This seems to be a common theme with him. And rightly so I reckon.

I understand why this review feels like "Markspeak"; it was exceptionally hard to write.

I do like and admire a many facets of WikiPatterns. It has real weaknesses, which it shares with many business books. It has real strengths, which are unique. In the big picture, that's an endorsement. It's really the only comprehensive discussion of wiki adoption I've seen, and one of very few books that seriously explore the manageent of bottom-up tech adoption.
