A new 3rd party Groovetool: Instant Project by Team Direction.  


Hugh Pyle writes some more on the Groove Tour Bot:
The aim of the tour framework is to make a little, generic, "conversation engine" inside Groove. The first application of this is a self-paced guided tour of Groove. You begin with some slideware, introducing Groove Workspace. Then an instant message arrives from a co-worker (a bot). You reply to the message, and wind up inviting this "person" into your shared space. Then you add some tools, and hold (primitive) conversations using those tools (and chat).  


Steve Yost disagrees with David Weinberger's assertion:
Lots of organizations are extremely interested in collaborative tools now. The main reason they can't successfully adopt collaborative technology is because you can't get people to all go use new technology at once, yet in the face of simple email and browser use, that's what's necessary: the new technology usage has to be unanimous. If one person in a group can't or won't use the new tech, the forum reverts to the least common denominator -- ubiquitous email. (Link via Jon's radio)  


David Weinberger: The benefits of using collaboration software are multiple and manifest. So, why aren't organizations more interested in using it? One explanation: We are in the realm not of scientifical business management but organized religion. The issue isn't business efficiency but the maintenance of power. Collaboration software does indeed hyperlink the hierarchy. And that's just plain scary to The Establishment, the status quo and/or The Man. The price of admission is business' corrupt soul.
