You are raising a good point - how exactly does the explosion of collaboration we see on the Internet translate to the applications we work with on the IntrAnet?
The development world has long had very specific ideas about how to make business application development more collaborative. These ideas have turned into development processes like RAD, Agile and Extreme Programming.
Yet the weak link for these processes have always been on the tools side. One hope is that Web 2.0 tools will help democratize the web development process in general and more specifically allow companies to build iterative prototypes of applications.
Yes, tools like ActiveGrid will be important. But the collaborative processes that those tools allow will be the real driver of benefit. For more in this vein, look at my www.keeneview.com blog here.

You are absolutely right.
I expect some vendors to pick up the slack or for architects to promote the creation of reusable tools/utilities that will foster collaboration specifically for the development of applications/services. Agile methodologies are well suited for any size of development but when we meet constantly, and there are changes to be captured, and decisions are made, we run the risk of loosing valuable information if we don't have these tools and processes in place.
