Today at Web 2.0 Microsoft announced a new product called Spindex. From the quick look during the presentation, appears to be Friendfeed with some semantic search.
MS Live account needed, and it appears it is an invite model for now. Gonna try to grab an account tomorrow. Definitely could see some uses for the government and the IC.
This week I am at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Originally I was attending with my customer, but as she as decided to pursue other adventures, I am here on my own.
Looking through the agenda, the expo seems to be heavily focused on design, social media, and web development. It is my goal to find out how the methodologies and technologies here can apply to the government. As usual, the biggest challenge is likely to be that much of the cool tech presented here is more SaaS based, whereas in the government (at least where I sit) we need to be able to install it in our closed network.
But that doesn’t mean there isn’t a ton to learn. I am looking to blog about what I learn and see at the show, as well as Tweet/Geo-locate with the best of them!
