Konolive

Filed in archive Web 2.0 on February 1, 2008

Koonolive wants to be the next generation web worker collaboration tool. That's a mouthfull for a little program that aims to create collaboration around (MS) office documents and other applications, something that others already do including microsoft. I wonder how this application is supposed to be different. The features they seem to think important are:

• Support for asynchronous collaboration, with one-click comment review and digital signatures


• A KonoLive user can go offline with the current state of the activities they are sharing, then next time they connect get resynchronized


• Integrated VOIP support as well as IM Chatting


• The ability for various collaborators see all the parts of a shared Activity and be notified as changes are made and their attention is needed


• The ability of a KonoLive collaborator to work with not just documents, but web applications and sites and video to annotate what others in the online group should pay attention to

All that is nice, but don't we already have all that functionality? Are we going to install yet another application to get functionality we already have?

I guess it's up to you. But don't count on me.

Konolive is here.
