But when you consider how little everyone internally (is seen to be) uses the tools to communicate you really can't blame the outside world for not "getting" just how influential msg, et al could be. I thought you might like this conversation from last year. It pretty well sums up your position. http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=60793 Great product and potential content managers are having a play, but can you find a product manager who will actually use what they're selling? BTW. You may be interested in this conversation http://labspace.open.ac.uk/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=275 (and maybe some others in the tools forum) I can't see why you'd want to waste time detailing, in a journal, why the pick up hasn't occurred yet, when you haven't even done ANY marketing. Why don't yo get the marketing or media producing academics off their bums? If that glossary highlight tool is yours, fantastic! But I'm afraid, after checking out the OpenID get together, as a content producer, the computer says no. Lastly, cause i couldn't bothered making an entry above, did you check out the comments to that yahoo/id story? I do hope you and Tony, etc will talk them through, cause if we don't have an OCWC ID (or OU ID consortia) provider, I'm going to have to register with yahoo and show you how easy it will be to spam. Well I’m doing my best.
