vowe follows up my troll
vowe follows up my troll about innovation and software dependencies.
Installing the Groove client is not an option for everyone, especially not in tightly controlled environments where the user works as a Windows 2000 restricted user. So how can I collaborate with him? Only through web based technologies... that do not require a client install.To which I'll point back at an old Groovelog post (summer last year, I think...). "Thin client" is a myth - it just happens that clients to the Web protocols are already part of the "standard desktop" already. The issue for Groove (mostly being addressed by the "pointy hats", of course) is how to get this application very widely deployed too.
Fundamentally, there's a new collaboration dynamic which is enabled by Groove: secure shared spaces, for immediate and persistent interaction, with no "central services" requirements, cross-Internet, from your own PC. Have Groove, can travel (and get work done whilst travelling). You can quickly see the value of shared spaces - "getting on the same page" - when comparing this with the typical CYA use of email.
(btw: I don't have a comment feature here only because I was too lazy to properly dig into Movable Type. But I quite like "blog tennis" anyway).
