Novell Pulse
November 9th, 2009 by JasperNovell today announced Pulse, a Google Wave like take on Novells own collaboration tools. Indeed, so Google Wave like is it, that they also announced integration to Google Wave.
It’s pretty exciting that the next generation collaboration space is really hotting up. I’ve said this before, and I’ll say this again: High quality collaboration is not about looking at how we collaborate in the same building and applying the same rules to the internet (e.g. Video, desktop sharing). We need to look at how we gear our behavior, shifting between synchronous and asynchronous, formal and informal – and providing tools that match these gear shifts.
Initial passes (Wave etc) may not be perfect but they are baby steps on a road that will eventually lead to radically different experiences in how we communicate and collaborate.
