(2007-01-29) Boyd Stikkit

Stowe Boyd thinks StikkIt is a promising example of "MeFirst" Collaboration Ware. This lines up naturally with the notion I made in the earlier post: rather than defining group "places" - a la BaseCamp - and giving people access to the places by declaring them to be members of the places' groups, in Stikkit individual pieces are shared with ad hoc groupings of people. There is no "place" in Stikkit, there is only the note, and the on-the-fly association of those sharing it. It sounds like this would get messy if you were trying to share 100 notes with a group of people...
