Microsoft and the blogging world Part 1
Tags :Announcement
It seems that while Microsoft currently does
not make any tools directly for blogging, we all know many of their employees
do have blogs that exist. Well now there is talks from inside the
research camp that they might be pursuing this.
Microsoft Research
is developing social-networking software code-named "Wallop,"
the first fruits of which could show up in 2006 when the "Longhorn"
version of Windows goes live. Wallop is designed to use blogs, wikkis,
instant-messaging and e-mail to connect individuals in peer groups. Microsoft
officials have said to expect an RSS aggregator to be part of the Longhorn
user interface.
And the ASP.Net team at Microsoft has
been dabbling with blogging, as well, via the Community Starter Kit distributed
to individuals interested in building their own community sites.
Who think that Lotus should make some RSS
feed tools available in Domino just like they recently did for IM? Simple
point and click type operations? Or maybe some template that is included
on the server that allows for easy customization and quickly running blogs?
I see Quickplace as too much for this for some reason.
