The most obviously interesting thing about Gartner's "Magic Quadrant for Team Collaboration and Social Software, 2007" is that there are no leaders. This is an open opportunity that represents one of the great promises of the Web - applying technology for better and more efficient interaction.
This report is about corporate solutions. The consumer is currently "twitter"ing with the latest apps with better tools. As these startups struggle with a sustainable business model they should do an Enterprise project in addition that silly/fun flirting game!
There are only two visionaries (just barely) Socialtext and SuiteTwo. Of course MS and IBM pull ahead by putting money and manpower (but not the best stuff) into their solutions.
It is time to dream about the perfect solution for your collaborations with family, friends, employees, partners, customers, etc... because it is almost here.
Here is a note from Socialtext, "Socialtext, MindTouch and Twiki, for instance, are primarily enterprise-class wikis and all have an open source option. Jive Software and Leverage Software add more of a social networking dimension with user profiles, allowing people to locate people with some specific expertise. Social Platform includes ecommerce capabilities, auctions and classifieds as part of its solution. Six Apart?s MovableType Enterprise Solution focuses on blogs and Telligent?s Community Server supports blogs and forums. Traction Teampage combines blogs and wikis, as do some of the other players. SiteScape goes the more traditional route with instant messaging, chat, SMS , email and conferencing. voice-and web-conferencing, and also has forums, blogs and wikis."
This is a key area to watch... like the evolution of hotshots Twitter and Utterz
