I'm interested in collaboration tools. There's a lot going on in that space. For example, Adobe has been sending me a bunch of stuff about its collaboration tool set. Then there's Skype. I use it some, but I have occasional problems with my USB ports on the PowerBook G4 that's my main machine. Here's a post from GigaOm about IBM and Skype for collaboration tools. An excerpt from his post:
Earlier today, IBM (IBM) said it was going to buy WebDialogs, which makes a suite of products that enable desktop sharing, conferencing and collaboration software known as Unyte, for an undisclosed amount of money. Unyte rides on Skype, and has been a stand-out amongst Skype Extras.
IBM plans to embed the application (and its functionality) into
IBM's Lotus Notes and Sametime products. Skype, despite lingering
doubts about its reliability and security, has become part of the
enterprise infrastructure. IBM plans to use Unyte to expand its Web
conferencing offerings to small- and medium-sized businesses, and to
smaller work groups within larger companies.
