Ray Ozzie: Why? As usual, Ray nails it.  I think he's dead-on that decentralized tools for collaborative work (what I provisionaly call postmodern knowledge management) will be the next great category of enterprise software applications.  This piece gives some background on how he got there.

Ray Ozzie posted an excellent essay on the motivation behind Groove. And so, for most of my life since that time, it has been my goal to explore what lies at the intersection between people, organizations, and technology. To attempt to utilize technology - to mold it, to shape it into a form such that it can help organizations to achieve a greater "return on connection" from employee, customer, and partner relationships, and to help individuals to strengthen the bonds between themselves and those with whom they interact - online. Because - empirically - collaborative technology has substantive value, in reducing the cost of coordination, in providing shared awareness across differences in space and time. He is also pondering the intersection between public and private collaboration technologies. [John Burkhardt] 9:02:25 AM
