Today marks the major annual release of Clearspace, Jive’s collaboration platform (as well as a completely new website). Version 1.0 released in Feb 2007 and version 2.0 ships today. Jive has two components of the platform:
Clearspace. Used as a company’s UI for collaborating with coworkers.
Clearspace Community (formerly Clearspace X). Powers
company’s online customer or partner […]
It’s easy to forget sometimes just how complex big companies really are. As much as enterprise-wide collaboration is talked about, it’s still mostly fiction. For the market at large, it doesn’t exist beyond email. And it’s not that companies haven’t tried.
It’s my planet. Step off.
Most of people’s time is spent with their group. These […]
This video will be on our new website which launches Monday, April 7. We tried to make a complex idea, simple. I dig the music so if your speakers are off, turn ‘em on and crank it.
I’ve seen the thing so many times now I may have convinced myself it makes sense so let me […]
I just finished another cut-n-paste-a-thon. In February it focused on scraping out a couple of month’s worth of blog posts and pasting them into Many Eyes to create “real” tag clouds based on actual content instead of the author’s bookmarking.
This time, I was scraping a month’s worth of Tweets. You can blame my natural […]

Yes, I get their business model: serve as many pages as possible so they can have enough media “inventory” to sell lots of ads. And then there is subscription. That’s when you collect names through registration forms so you can market the lists and/or […]
We just signed up to be clients for both these analyst firms in January. It’s the first semester and the experience couldn’t be more different. Granted, we’ve just begun relationships with both firms, so things are bound to change.

I saw the movie Helvetica this weekend and it reminded me of what’s happening with enterprise social software. Helvetica is a font that has been around for 50 years and it was created by the Swiss just after World War II as a way to refresh the world with something open, social, practical, modern and […]
It seems that all I read about in the Blogosphere is centered on Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Apple. Curious if that was perception or reality, I decided to check out what stories really dominate the trade rags to see if there were any patterns. What does that have to do with Nazi sympathizers, you ask? […]
I can’t really say I went to SXSW this year. 24-hours is hardly enough time to have been there. But I did have a fun, albeit nutty short time. Some highlights:
Breakfast with Stanford University’s JJ Toothman
JJ tweeted me as Stanford has been looking at Clearspace for their Intranet. Had a good coffee and chat at […]
Sweet video of Jivers banging it on Mount Hood. Jim Goings, our IT d00d shot and edited. Even our IT folks rock. Check it out.
Jive Ski Trip 2008 from Jive Software
I am currently the CMO at Jive Software and a frequent speaker, blogger and work-a-holic. Although I write about social software, my opinions are biased in favor of Jive's collaboration and community solutions. I live in Portland, OR with my wife and two sons.
