Great interview with Ross Mayfield about Social Collaboration tools

I just listened to this interview with Ross Mayfield of Socialtext, on Net@Night with Leo Laporte and Amber MacArthur.

He speaks with great clarity and insight about online collaboration tools:

• when to choose wikis, blogs, social networking like Facebook, social bookmarking like Delicious, or social text messaging like Twitter, or email as tools for your job
• how to allow for different user preferences, allowing people to choose the tools they feel comfortable using
• how email is failing us, with deluged inboxes, cc’s that we could easily do without, etc
• how things are shaping up to affect us in the next 1-3 years

Skip ahead to 20:45 to go straight to start of the interview with Ross.

 

Or you can skip even farther ahead to skip to 36:50, where he addresses our kinds of concerns.

It’s about 23 minutes long, if you start there.

 

You can also download this podcast to an iPod or iPhone.

Geek Salad meets Tuesday Jan 20 at 7-8 AM at Kaldi's on 9th and Elm

It will be the day after a 3 day weekend, and I’m sending out this notice on Saturday, so some of you may not see this in time to be reminded.

 

Last time, we talked about how our communication has changed over the past few years. Responses ranged from chat, to cell phone, to Skype, to stepping off the grid. People had other questions and other innovation ideas to share, as well.

 

I came across this little cartoon from

XKCD: A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language,

and couldn’t stop laughing. Temperature seemed pertinent this week.

Cool graphics of a People Page

I came across this cool site by Nancy Duarte’s firm. They made Al Gore’s slides for “An Inconvenient Truth.”

The “People Page” is intriguing.

I have been looking at Groove. I have set up an account (very easy), but have not tested it yet. Here is the scoop:

 

Microsoft® Office Groove® 2007 is Internet software for making direct connections with the people who are important to you. With Office Groove 2007, you can bring together team members from both inside and outside your company, with no IT assistance required and no need to waste time thinking about firewalls, servers, security, or network access. Additionally, you can enjoy the efficiency of always knowing each other's virtual location, or online presence, thus allowing for organic and quick conversation and collaboration.

Are you aware of any slick collaboration tools?

 

·         I am able to use SharePoint to do document collaboration. Not easy.

·         I’ve done several document collaborations now on Google Docs. It’s pretty easy. I’ve tripped myself up by not making a document public in time. I like seeing the older versions.

·         I’ve never edited anything on Wikipedia, though I’ve peeked under the hood.

 

Most of my academic colleagues are still sending around Word documents. Some, but not most, are using the Review feature that lets one add annotations, which you can show or hide. Someone then has to come along and add the suggested changes.

 

Google Spreadsheets and Forms are an easy way to make simple online surveys.

If you want branching logic, you need to use Survey Monkey. Or maybe Sean Goggins has a new product from Lanit…

Jeff,

 

Google docs is easy to use if you have a Gmail account.  For those who don’t have a Gmail account, there is a barrier to use the site.  If we created an open collaborative site on our SharePoint site for all Faculty, it would be easier to use, especially for an all Microsoft Shop, like MU. 

 

Ali Hussam has also pointed me in the direction of an open source product called,  Alfresco, which sounds interesting and has some pretty good resources backing it up … engineers and founders of Documentum, Business Objects and Interwoven.

 

I hope to make the Tuesday meeting this time.

 

-Karl
