I've been reading Joel Orr's reports on construction specific extranets since 1998. Glad to see he discovered Groove
Our take: This is the Borg of collaboration tools, only you get to retain your individuality. And it is an incredible value. The only factor that keeps Groove from sweeping away competing forms of collaboration and communication right now is perceived performance. I don't know why, but Groove can feel slow, compared to IM. Of course, it isn't an IM competitor. But that's what I, and most users, want it to be—IM with an audit trail, file-sharing, joint editing, etc., etc. It's almost that, but not quite. Engineering can really benefit from this product.
