Interesting quotes from the event

"iTunes for business" – file storage, sharing and gathering tool

"as easy as a iPod" – key differentator (said by many companies about many different products)


One neat idea - Podcasting as a way of sharing information – record calls, make them available from the knowledge management system. So you translate the speech to text, allow for search on the text, but play the speech when you click on the result.

Another neat idea - for each member of the firm you track the number documents submitted, posts to discussion forums, times their submitted documents are read, downloaded, number of documents they have downloaded, and so on. Keep track of their collaboration. Then present the number in their profile, like a Microsoft Gamer tag. This would give a visible social score to make visible the impact they are having on the community. It would reinforce positive behavior, without requiring additional compensation.
