Walking the thin line between revealing just the right amount of information and retaining my liberty, or giving away too much information and getting locked up in the Tower of London for the rest of my natural…<\/em><\/p>\n

In the Collaboration Tools project are a set of (broadly speaking) weighted user defined requirements.<\/p>\n

That’s actually only a partially correct description, but it’s better than nowt so we’ll run with it for now.<\/p>\n

There are nine distinct functional points which (a) Collaboration Tool(s) should deliver, but obviously the management view requires the full range of functions to be delivered through the smallest number of products.<\/p>\n

Real Time Communications (RTC) is on the list of requirements as a medium-to-high desirability tool, but the question in my head is whether to focus on a ‘chat’ type product or a ‘twitter’ type product.<\/p>\n

For some reason both lines of RTC seem to have their feet dangled in a pool of client software.<\/p>\n

This is Not Good from my perspective – to achieve a truly functional collaborative environment RTC can really only be delivered through a browser-based product.<\/p>\n

However, I’m testing out both types of product.<\/p>\n

1. IM\/Chat (using my Microsoft profile) via the http:\/\/meebo.com<\/a> web product and Microsoft’s own Windows Live Messenger client, and<\/p>\n

2. Twitter using http:\/\/twitter.com<\/a> and their own web product and the Twitteroo client (my profile name is – unsurprisingly – http:\/\/twitter.com\/brennig<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So…<\/p>\n

Does anyone use these two technologies (IM\/Chat or Twitter) and if so what is your weapon of choice – browser tools or client installations?<\/p>\n

And if client installations – which ones?<\/p>\n

And why client over browser?<\/p>\n

And if browser products – which ones?<\/p>\n

And why browser over client?<\/p>\n

Ta!<\/p>\n
