At the New York summit Nat brought up collaboration repeatedly, and collaboration is the theme of the bounty contest. A couple of flash demos: Kubi (skip the boring intro) and Groove (hope you can survive the horrible music). Slashdot also just posted this interview about IM which is related. Kubi and Groove have the idea […]
