Is there anyone out there at CDM reading this who has a technology entrepreneurship bent and interested in pursuing what you learn at CDM toward building your own IT company?
If so, please contact me.

Just got the dimdim email that they are out of beta and have upgraded to version 4.5. We had lots of trouble with dimdim for audio conferencing and screen sharing in class this fall (though it was popular among student teams last spring.) Perhaps the new version will introduce more stability into their product. If anyone here tries it, let us know.

Fascinating post in Leading Virtually about what challenges emerge at each stage of a virtual teaming process. Covers reality check, launch, norming, process optimization, and adjourning. Good read.
- Microsoft turns Windows Live into a social networkNovember 13 2008

From Computerworld:
Microsoft this week unveiled a slew of new online services that essentially transforms its Windows Live site into a social network.The changes, which include updated photo sharing, e-mail and instant messaging capabilities, have received mostly positive reviews from Web 2.0 industry observers.
Microsoft also announced that it is integrating activities from some 50 companies and Web 2.0 services -- including Yahoo Inc.'s Flickr photo-sharing service, LinkedIn Corp., Photobucket Inc., Twitter and WordPress.org -- into the site through new Windows Live profiles and a news feed.
I have no sense of what impact this will have on the social networking community, do you?
- IdeaJamNovember 12 2008

Michael Sampson profiled IdeaJam from Elguji. [Note that Ed Brill, the Lotus exec who endorses it on the homepage was a gues speaker in this class two quarters ago.]
IdeaJam seems to be a recommender system for ideas within an organization. You put it up kind of in an enterprise social idea network sense and people contribute ideas. Then others vote the ideas thumbs up or down. Kind of like a Digg for internal ideas.
Think this will catch on?
