e-mail and virtual learning environments (why its a bad idea). (SOURCE:Curiouser and curiouser)-We used LiveLink at my last job. Based on my experience I would not recommend it! Why? It's not web friendly (it encourages the proliferation of documents in proprietary Microsoft formats, the URLs are horrendous), you can't script it, it's controlled by a centralized team, it's hard to use and it's slow. Much better to use blogging system like Radio with a Google search appliance IMHO. YMMV.

» I think Roland makes good points.   Livelink certainly wasn't a panacea for us.   Although 5 years ago when we took it up it was in a class of it's own really.

As to whether I would recommend it or not?  I guess that would depend upon whether you really needed a central document repository or not.  That's really what products like Livelink are at heart.
