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.
