Nexo.com asked us to revisit their site and review their latest features being showcased at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Nexo was one of my early picks as "poster child" of early 2007 startups. Nexo combines simple website creation, group email, social networking and effective real time collaborative elements for a super user friendly service.  
The free aspect of Nexo launched back in January with their most innovative showcased feature group collaboration ala Wiki. The latest addition is a premium service [...]

We don’t know if ‘WeBreakStuff’ is a good label for a web design and programming house. What we can tell you is that at least one of the items to emerge from the company’s workshop is some quality work, inside and out.
It’s called GoPlan, and it is an application that helps teams collaborate on projects, period. It lets users take notes, maintain a calendar, manage tasks and files, track stuff (things that require debugging, etc.), and even publish a [...]

March 11, 2007 - Profy got a rare opportunity today to talk with Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, Wikimedia (non-profit foundation), Co-Founder of Wikia Inc., and more recently innovator of Wikia-Search which we have covered on other occasions.

Well, it just so happens that a few [...]

I’ll be honest. I didn’t like CollectiveX when I gave it a glance. It looked like one of those businesses you come across and think: “They don’t quite get it.” And that feeling hasn’t completely gone away, but it’s diminished after a decent look-see, and it’s certainly due some respect for punching out a product that does what it’s alleged to do. This is particularly good when the main audience they appear to be after is the small to medium-sized [...]

For most people in business, email is probably the most useful web related application; it???s replaced snail mail and fax to a significant extent, it provides a quick way to communicate with multiple people, and to send response quickly. Where typically you would spend days waiting for a reply through the postal system, you can expect to get a response within hours to an email; to the point where people now routinely expect same day replies and aren???t willing to [...]

Robert Scoble’s ScobleShow features an interview with Connectbeam CEO Puneet Gupta, and a podcast of a demo of Connectbeam’s offering. Check it out - this is a great example of how Web 2.0 can bring value to Enterprise.
I’d talked briefly in earlier posts about Connectbeam and business bookmarking and where Web 2.0 could make a difference to businesses - bringing “knowledge processing” as opposed to just “knowledge management” - here’s more information for you to think about.
