Apparently this is a tool that allowed Groove Space users to find each other and visit/participate/publish shared spaces that others can join.
Since Groove's software is in transition, it is difficult for them to keep up, and they have suspended operations. I suspect there are other, financial, considerations (insufficient funds to keep going).

Web oriented workaround for chat.
The concept here is that when you are online, and someone visits your website, you are alerted to their presence so that you could have a chat session with them.
Promoted as an interactive sales/customer service tool. But I was directed to it via the Forums at Groove, where there was a discussion of how to have some kind of chat when people are on your URL (as opposed to when people are in a shared Groove Space).

Chained thorugh to Veridian's CIM concept from Ray Ozzie -> Groove -> Veridian. Veridian appears to be a government technology vendor that has a knowledge management model that appears to resemble the kind of model used in Nikita's Section One.
In other words, tracking the evolution of situations, intent of the players, and actions. It would seem to be a great competitive situation tool - (Game theory type of thing?).
