Social bookmarking in the Enterprise

No comments :
Back in May i posted about social booking in the enterprise which actually lead to some interesting conversations- including a comment from Steve Eisner from AskMe Corporation. Steve posts on the subject are very insightful and i was actually very ambitious back in May and even printed out a copy of some posts i wanted to digest since they are detailed. you can see what happened to the paper version on the pic-it has traveled with me on three business trips (NJ,MT,ID) coffee spill and all! i finally took some time to digest - so definitely take a look at Steve's Social Life blog.

Today, TechCrunch reviews ConnectBeam, a weeks-old startup -even their pricing model is interesting- The first five users per domain are free and a tiered pricing system will start once an organization's user base has grown beyond five-obviously an application like this would grow organically- get the early adopters to use it and promote it and then others will join and budget money will be found. Using this functionality to for example share and retain the knowledge of research during a project would be very valuable to enterprises that are looking to manage their knowledge. I am sure will see more social bookmarking inside the firewall applications in the next few months.

A couple of other bloggers are also talking about ConnectBeam.
