Tell me about how Dogear got started.
there was some interest in social bookmarking among some of the members of my group,
in particular jonathan fienberg and Bernard kerr. We were aware of a number of bookmarking
applications out there on the internet, not the least of which was del.icio.us.
and we were intrigued about how they worked. We were also aware that they didn??™t
work particularly well for the kinds of business we lived in??”the very large enterprise??”
and they probably wouldn??™t work all that well for other large enterprises.
and so jonathan and Bernard approached me in late 2004 and said, ???hey, we??™d like
to think about doing an enterprise version of this.??? i think they had the first prototype
going by march 2005. and we were out on an iBm-wide trial by july.
How does an enterprise social bookmarking application differ from a consumer
application?
almost from the beginning we knew we wanted this to be behind the firewall, and that
meant we needed some kind of authentication.
