Netomat Beta

Joi blogs about Netomat

netomat beta [ Social Software (wiki) | Wiki (wiki) ]
I met Kris and Maciej of netomat at Supernova and just got around to downloading and playing with the beta. It looks interesting. It's like an email/wiki/link sharing tool. It's written in Java and runs on Mac and Windows. It's pretty easy to use and is more "rich" than a wiki because it has things like drawing tools that let you annotate pages in a way similar to a white board. You create pages with your netomat client. You can publish it with editing enabled so anyone can modify it. It keeps a history of changes. You can email pages to people. You can include lots of things in pages including audio, images, links, etc.
If anyone else is running the beta, send me netomat mail so that we can mess around. I am jito on netomat. My first netomat page is here.

I have been having a play with this and it looks really good. It could be really useful as a collaboration tool. I'm wondering how I wold make use of this within an organisation. Haven't quite gotten there yet given the existing infrastructure that i work with but I'm going to give it more thought.
