The Enterprise Collaboration & Community Software Report looks at... End-user interface in Traction TeamPage

"The ability to slice and dice information in various ways, comment on it, tag it, and build collaborative knowledgebases is very powerful. But this very feature-richness also makes the platform a bit daunting, especially because its somewhat dated interface doesn't always work as effectively as most competitors' to simplify your options."

Google takes page from Microsoft playbook

28-Oct-2009   --  

I was recently invited to participate in some early testing of Google's Wave product. As readers know, Wave has been described as a "SharePoint killer." My initial impression of Wave leads me to believe it's little more than hype. Adriaan seems to agree. However, I was amused by what I saw when I first visited the site.

It seems that Google has taken a page from Microsoft's playbook in trying to "encourage" usage of Chrome, Firefox and Safari, while making use of IE challenging without "plug-ins." Perhaps Google's goal is to be more like Microsoft, not supplant them in the collaboration space.
