I have been following Michael Gannotti and his great Michael on the Go podcasts for a long time. I have also heard great things about Academy Mobile, which is a video service developed by Microsoft, built on sharepoint for an enterprise conversation. At the moment tho, it is only available intrnally at Microsoft. A great tool being used with great results at Microsoft. This needs o be released!
There is a huge conversation going on over at seesmic. I have been hugely guilty at wasting loads of time over on seesmic, and more recently over on utterz. I hav been talking about Academy Mobile for much longer than seesmic has been around.
I am dying to see Academy Mobile released. The enterprise needs this type of tool. The consumer needs this type of tool. I guess Microsoft is guaging all these markets and deciding on a startegy for release. At least I hope.
So I decided to ask Michael Gannotti the question as he *did* say leave questions.
There’s a lot of talk at this time of year about what rocked last year and looking forward to 2008. So I thought I’d throw in my tupence, for what it’s worth, and tell you what will be my killer app of 2008 – eventtrack
Setup couldn’t be simpler. If you have a twitter account, simply follow @eventtrack. To start an event, or joing an existing event, simply tweet: “@eventtrack start*xxxxx” where xxxxx is the keyword for your event e.g. “@eventtrack start*geekmeet”.
The person behind @eventtrack is Craig Cmehil who works as an evangelist for SAP. Craig has whipped this up in his spare time because he saw the need for this type of service. I couldn’t agree more and look forward to using it more. It’s my killer app of 2008.
