Udell's articles on Radio's significance as a collaborative software


Jon Udell's 2 articles about Radio give you an idea of the significance of Radio. I did not find the time to play with outlining yet, but by what I have read on various sites, it seems to be the killer app for collaboration. It seems to solve a problem I had tried to solve using a wiki server in my company.

Instant Outlining, Instant Gratification

Radio is the DNA for the new space of collaborative practices: the evolution has begun


Radio provides you basic tools to collaborate and manage information: weblog, outline, news. But the most important aspect of Radio is that it provides an infrastructure to develop things around and over these services: an object database, already filled in with lots of code and data, a scripting language, an easy way to create web services, a presentation framework, a web server... and because fo the nature of the software, a community of developers that is the most active I've ever seen.

You are free to enhance the existing Radio services, like Mark Paschal who enhanced the news feature in Kit, a suite of page tools for Radio UserLand, or to create new services, such as the display subscription service developped by Jon Udell to display your RSS subscriptions on your home page.

In Blogspace Under the Microscope John Udell explores the significance of another of these developments to augment Radio: backlinks extracted from Radio's Referrer log, that point to pages referring back to the current page.

I'm looking this evolutionary process unfold at high speed since one month and it's fascinating.
