They also have more pressure to organize their knowledge than we had since the information flood and has only grown over the years, and the half-life time of knowledge has decreased. Plus, many now need to work from home office and probably use this to better organize their knowledge management.

And I think this is not only a hype, these new tools bring something really genuinely useful and new. For instance, use of Markdown to avoid vendor lock-in, back-links and more flexible graphs than outliners can offer. At the same time they are less complicated than personal wikis which usually had peculiar, ugly syntax and were not a joy to use.
