Jon Udell:  I would love it if, in the kind of situation Matt describes -- where an issue arises in blogspace that really does require more tightly-coupled interaction -- I could experience Groove instead of email as the framework for that interaction. If you are a Groove user, find yourself in such a situation, and would like to involve me in a short-term discussion, please do invite me into a Groove space made for that purpose. Tim and I just created a Groovespace to continue this conversation, anyone who is interested can contact me and i'll send you an invitation.

Matt Pope on Dialog, Radio and Groove When the conversation merits multi-channel, synhronous dialog, a natural and seamless transition into a Groove shared space from Radio would be very cool. Within Groove, the communication is private and secure between the small group of individuals that need to be intimately engaged. It's like email except exponentially better because it truly is secure, and it is more dynamic, and it can be synchronous, and it can incorporate context (e.g. documents, pictures, markup, etc.) more readily. When the Groove communication ends, the thread, along with any supporting data, can be integrated back to the Radio environment for a wider audience to see. That would be nice. With Tim Knip's wares and edge services, this type of integration is becoming much simpler.
