Pat Weakley Colgate-Palmolive
Everyone in our company says they want a wiki and I really want to make sure that they use it for the right thing. And its about being able to collaborate and to really work on policies and procedures. I see great opportunities for it in our manufacturing area where our plants can really share information on how to run the plants more efficiently across the geographies. These people dont work togetherbut theyll be able to kind of update the policy manuals and the procedures associated with the equipment, in real time.

Great to see IBM in the social networking software platform business. When we started over 8 years ago, there were only a couple small web firms building custom social networks. Now there are thousands of companies popping up everywhere. @ least IBM has a good track record and is not a fly by night social networking software company.
