	Venture Chronicles: Socialtext investment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		I met Ross Mayfield a couple of years ago and liked him from the start, which is just makes it that much more enjoyable to now say that we are an investor as well as a supporter.
		To me this shift is a good thing, it signifies that the market is maturing, accepting the technology, and most important that Socialtext was successful in being far enough ahead of the market swing but not too far ahead to have people say "oh yeah, they've been around for a long time".
		Socialtext is one of the most interesting companies we have invested in and it goes without saying that we will do everything possible to support them in their mission.

	SiliconBeat: Socialtext's Mayfield tells more about SAP backing
		Socialtext's chief executive, Ross Mayfield, says there aren't enough good ways for employees at large companies to form groups on the fly, to collaborate on group projects, and then to solicit and compile feedback from others within the larger organization.
		SAP's endorsement is a coup for Socialtext, which wants to see its application rooted deeply and seamlessly within corporate Intranets (and is up against companies like cross-town rival JotSpot, also backed by venture capital).
		SAP has invested $850k into Socialtext and this might be an interesting match to say the least.

		Socialtext recently announced version 2.0 of it's enterprise wiki.
		Back to Socialtext, perhaps there is more to the new design than the desire to create a very simple, clutter-free user experience: the underlying philosophical difference between hierarchical structures, parent-child data relationship vs. everything being flat (created at the home page) and only associated through links embedded in page text.
		Socialtext simply lists all documents with the same title (or not), not recognizing them as version of the same file.

		Whilst I mentioned that there were many free packages available I referred people to SocialText because I think the challenge is not buying or installing the software but to find the right partners to help you use and sell it internally.
		And, finally, since the press is barred from reporting on the arrival of the bodies of our soldiers from Iraq, I’m going to start picking up the slack by pointing to the list of names of those killed in action.
		Socialtext, a startup I'm on the advisory board for, launched version 1.0 of its commercial and open-source products today.
