In a comment, Neil Burton of Web Spiders picks up on my rhetorical question why would I want my employer to own my social graph? by asking In this case [an enterprise social networking tool provided by the company] is your social graph actually intellectual property of the company? would a company who gave you a [...]

Having mentioned Qumana in a recent post, the ever-vigilant Qumana team picked up on my comment and asked if I’d look again at the tool. As I promised, here is a note of my re-visit. In the spirit of the thing, this post is written using the tool (3.0.0-b2 Beta). The two things that put me [...]
