PR uber-blogger Steve Rubel points to a new, one-click JotSpot Family Site. Huh? Why should we be interested. It’s when you see Jotspot Family site (a SaaS offering)that you start to get a glimpse of what can happen when smart developers think carefully about end users. I’ve tried JotSpot Family site out and it is truly awesome.
As a parent and child of family who are in other countries, it is great to have this private resource available. Other family members started filling it up with photos, additions, birthdate reminders, a shared calendar of events (I’m awful at remembering these) within an hour of sending the invite email. There’s also blog capability so we can use that as a way of sharing experiences, perhaps offering help to one another. Who knows where this could go? (Jude’s struggling to get it at the moment but I think the penny will drop once she has a solid go at it.)
To put this on a professional level. Imagine this kind of facility translated into your firm’s internal staff directory – only on steroids? With a bit of tweaking of the relationships shown on the JotSpot Family site, I’d bet a lot of money that many firms would find this kind of thing useful. What’s more, as Steve says in his commentary:
Even better you don’t even need to know what a wiki is
That’s what good technology delivery should be about. Quick, obvious, 10-seconds to learn. and increasingly, sparking fresh ideas. I wonder if Joe Kraus, CEO of JotSpot is listening to this?
