Cisco Live 2010: Collaboration running Amuck

Collaboration is all over CiscoLive 2010.  And a lot had to do with social media collaboration.  It looks like Cisco is going corporate with trying to access Facebook, Twitter, etc and bring it inside the corporate network.  So any of this is going to come inside the data center sooner or later.

It is all very early release stuff, but it seems very interesting, maybe even a little big brother-ish.  You post a note somewhere on facebook about product X, and some search engine sucks it up, and they follow up with you.  Sounds like good service, but what happened to the old days, when you either complained to them or just narked them out to all your family and friends.  Not sure if I want companies poking around my personal social networks.

Anyway, they are working on a collaboration gateway to make it all happen.  Together with a portal application called Cisco Quad, it’s interesting, and more to follow.  Check out this video.  Very highlevel but interesting.
